| Summary | "A Lost Cause" by Guy Thorne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to address the tensions within the Church of England, particularly focusing on the conflict between traditional Catholic practices and rising Protestant sentiments. The opening revolves around Father Blantyre, the vicar of St. Elwyn's, and the dramatic circumstances surrounding a Catholic Mass that becomes interrupted by a protest led by the antagonistic Hamlyn family. At the start of the narrative, the atmosphere is tense as preparations for the High Celebration at St. Elwyn's unfold. The church is filled with worshippers who are poised for a sacred experience, but the solemnity is shattered when Samuel Hamlyn publicly protests against the rituals of the Mass, igniting chaos among the congregation. This confrontation not only reveals the divisions within the church community but sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the characters' motivations and beliefs. The implications of this conflict extend beyond the church walls, hinting at broader societal debates about faith and tradition during the period. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
