Summary "Long Will" by Florence Converse is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the intricacies of life during the 14th century, showcasing the struggles of its characters against the backdrop of significant historical events, including the Black Death and the sociopolitical tensions of the time, such as the Peasants' Revolt. The central character, Will Langland, a poet and priest, aims to address the plight of the common folk while seeking the truth in a world fraught with challenges, thus inviting readers to explore deep themes of love, class struggles, and societal change. The opening of "Long Will" introduces us to a dreamer resting on the Malvern Hills, caught in reflection and poetic musings. We meet a young boy from the court of Prince Lionel, who interacts with the dreamer, identifying him as a poet. Their dialogue reveals the dreamer's aspirations of uncovering the truth through song and poetry while grappling with the harsh realities faced by the common people. The conversation blossoms into a moment of insight, where the dreamer expresses his yearning to transform the world through his narratives, foreshadowing the larger struggles and themes of seeking truth and impact that will unfold throughout the novel. This initial exchange sets the stage for a rich exploration of relationships, ambition, and the drive for social justice in a tumultuous historical setting.
