Summary "The Great Captain: A Story of the Days of Sir Walter Raleigh" by Katharine Tynan is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set during the tumultuous period of the late 16th to early 17th centuries, a time marked by conflict between England and Spain as well as the rise of adventurers like Sir Walter Raleigh. The book revolves around themes of loyalty, love, and the complexities of heritage, particularly focusing on the protagonist's connection to Sir Walter Raleigh and the broader historical context of this intriguing era. The story is narrated by a boy named Walter Fitzmaurice, who becomes the page and loyal follower of Sir Walter Raleigh after being saved from certain death. As Walter grows up under the captain's wings, he grapples with his identity as a descendant of the defeated Desmond clan while developing a deep love for Raleigh. The tale spans thrilling adventures, including quests for treasure in the New World, encounters with danger, and the personal conflicts that arise from loyalty to a nobleman who is also viewed as an enemy by his people. As both Raleigh and Walter face the trials of political intrigue, betrayal, and the nuances of their relationship, the narrative ultimately reflects on the costs of ambition and the enduring nature of loyalty amidst shifting allegiances.
