"The Abbatial Crosier; or, Bonaik and Septimine. A Tale of a Medieval Abbess" by Eugene Sue is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. This work is part of a larger series titled "The Mysteries of the People," exploring themes related to class struggles and societal changes during the tumultuous medieval period. The main characters introduced are Septimine, a young girl enslaved in the abbey, and her interactions with the old goldsmith Bonaik, set against the backdrop of feudal complexities in Gaul. The opening of the tale sets a vivid stage of conflict and cultural exchanges between Arabs and Christians in the region during the Frankish conquests. It begins with a prologue detailing the chaos of the time, marked by war and changing allegiances, which impacts the lives of various groups, including feudal lords and their subjects. It transitions to the abbey where Septimine, who has recently gained freedom, begins her new life under the guidance of Bonaik, the goldsmith, reflecting on her past enslavement while hinting at future challenges that come from her interaction with the tyrannical figures of the abbey. The dynamic among characters is marked by kindness, anxiety, and the historical weight of their circumstances, providing an interesting premise for the unfolding narrative.
