Peard, Frances M. (Frances Mary)
Thorpe Regis
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Thorpe Regis" by Frances Mary Peard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the village of Thorpe Regis, a once-thriving place now marked by decline, where the past glories of the old highway and the London coaches contrast sharply with its current stagnation. Central to the story are the Mannering brothers, former London lawyers, and their interactions with the local population, particularly the younger generation, including the energetic and ambitious Anthony Miles and his sister Marion. The opening of "Thorpe Regis" establishes a rich backdrop of social dynamics and changes affecting the village. It introduces the decline of Thorpe as it loses its former importance to the neighboring village of Underham, which benefits from the arrival of the railway. The narrative showcases the daily life and interactions among the characters, such as a humorous exchange between the Mannering brothers about gardening, revealing their personalities, sibling relationship, and local ties. As the story progresses, themes of nostalgia, personal ambition, and the shifting nature of community life in the face of modernization emerge, setting the stage for the characters' development and the unfolding plot revolving around love and social obligations.
