Coniston — Complete
Produced by David Widger
"Coniston" by Winston Churchill is a novel written during the late 19th century. Set in a small New England village after the presidency of Andrew Jackson, the story explores the complexities of democracy and social class through the eyes of its characters. Central to the narrative is Jethro Bass, the underappreciated son of a tanner, who navigates the intricate politics of his town while harbored feelings for Cynthia Ware, the well-educated daughter of the local minister. The opening of "Coniston" establishes a rich setting in the village, where Jethro Bass, described as rough yet insightful, interacts with other townsfolk, including the spirited Cynthia Ware. Their contrasting social status is evident, and their dynamic hints at budding emotions that complicate the dichotomy of class. The chapter introduces the vibrant village life, complete with social ranks and a sense of tradition, while foreshadowing political upheaval as Jethro's aspirations challenge the status quo. As the narrative unfolds, tensions surrounding political power and personal relationships promise an engaging exploration of ambition and societal change.
