| Summary | "By Violence" by John Trevena is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores complex themes related to the human condition, spirituality, and the inherent violence present in both nature and society. The story unfolds primarily in the moorland setting of Dartmoor, where the protagonist, Simon Searell, grapples with existential questions about faith and the essence of true religion against the backdrop of a mystical relationship with nature. The novel follows Simon Searell as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery after leaving his role in the church. Disillusioned with the dogma of organized religion, he seeks enlightenment and connection with the divine in the solitary beauty of Dartmoor's wilderness. Throughout the story, he encounters a cast of characters, including the drunken Oliver Vorse and his wife Sibley, who symbolize the struggles of ordinary life intertwined with violence and vice. As Searell attempts to cultivate a personal understanding of spirituality, he is faced with the harsh realities of human nature. Ultimately, the birth of a child among the characters becomes a pivotal moment, representing hope amidst violence, leading to profound realizations for Searell about love, community, and the interconnectedness of all living things.
