| Summary | "The Missioner" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the character Victor Macheson, a young missioner with a passionate desire to bring spirituality to a seemingly idyllic yet superficial village. As he attempts to engage the contented villagers, he encounters resistance, particularly from the mistress of Thorpe-Hatton, Wilhelmina, who views his efforts as an intrusive affront to their way of life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Wilhelmina, who is bored and weary as she sits with her agent, Mr. Hurd, discussing estate matters. Their conversation hints at a deeper discontent in her life, as she reflects on the stark difference between her own experiences and Mr. Hurd's simple existence. Soon after, Macheson arrives in the village, seeking to hold religious meetings, only to find disapproval from both the villagers and Wilhelmina. Their interactions reveal a growing tension and the start of a battle of wills, setting the stage for the unfolding dynamics of class, purpose, and the struggle for spiritual connection amidst societal placidity.
