| Summary | "Waynflete" by Christabel R. Coleridge is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins in 1785, centering around the Waynflete family and the haunting legacy of betrayal linked to the younger son, Guy, who is caught between his family's past and his present. As layers of family history unravel, the novel explores themes of honor, legacy, and the burdens of ancestry, particularly focusing on the character of Margaret Waynflete, a matriarch striving to restore her family's name and fortunes. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to a tense evening at Waynflete Hall where the master, the squire, and Mr. Maxwell, the family's attorney, await the return of Guy, the squire's wayward son. The atmosphere is thick with foreboding and the weight of familial curses, as the past lover’s betrayal and the urgency of a late-night gathering take center stage. The stark contrast of the outside storm reflects internal chaos, leading to a tragic culmination as secrets and misdeeds surface, foreshadowing the complexities Guy will face as he navigates the expectations of his lineage. As the prologue unfolds, it sets the stage for the exploration of the characters' intertwined fates influenced by their haunted histories. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
