"The Socialist" by Guy Thorne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of the young Duke of Paddington, who possesses immense wealth and social status yet finds himself entwined in the socio-political upheavals of his time. As the narrative unfolds, the duke's interactions with those from varying social classes, including his valet and a prominent socialist figure, set the stage for a deeper exploration of class struggle and the transformative power of activism. The opening of the novel introduces John Augustus Basil FitzTracy, the Duke of Paddington, and provides a glimpse into his opulent life, revealing his wealth and status contrasted against the growing discontent among the working class. The duke is a student at Oxford, living in luxury while remaining somewhat detached from the realities of the lower classes he inadvertently affects. A pivotal moment occurs when his valet, Proctor, confronts him about the injustices faced by workers, leading to Proctor's departure as he embraces his own aspirations. This conflict hints at the broader themes of class inequality and social change that will likely permeate the story, setting up tensions that suggest a collision course between the privileged elite and the struggling masses.
