Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans by Google Books.
"The Rebellion in the Cevennes, an Historical Novel. Vol. I." by Ludwig Tieck is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The narrative unfolds during a turbulent period of religious conflict in France, focusing on the plight of the Camisards, a group of Protestant rebels fighting against the brutal persecution initiated by King Louis XIV. The story revolves around the characters in a rural mansion, primarily following the interactions of the Lord of Beauvais and his son Edmond, who contend with their differing perspectives on faith, rebellion, and duty in the face of oppression. The opening of the novel introduces us to the troubled atmosphere of the countryside where the impending storm serves as a metaphor for the escalating conflict affecting the region. We meet the Lord of Beauvais, who expresses concern for his son, Edmond, and reflects on the growing tensions surrounding them, particularly relating to their Protestant neighbors who are rebelling against their Catholic oppressors. The dialogue reveals familial strife over differing beliefs, highlighting Edmond's youthful zeal contrasted with his father's caution. As the narrative progresses, the scene intensifies with the arrival of various guests, including a mysterious hermit rumored to be a leader of the insurgent rebels, setting the stage for a gripping exploration of loyalty, faith, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals amidst societal chaos.
