| Summary | "The Broken Font: A Story of the Civil War, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Moyle Sherer is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. Set during the dramatic and tumultuous times of the English Civil War, the narrative explores the complex relationships and conflicts emerging from this period of hostility. It appears to focus on the lives of various characters intertwined through the broader conflicts of loyalty and belief, particularly illustrating the impact of war on family life and social dynamics. The opening of the novel establishes a serene yet tension-filled afternoon in April 1640, detailing a tranquil scene at Milverton House. The narrative introduces Sir Oliver Heywood, his daughter Katharine, his sister Alice, and young Arthur, who display their innocence amidst whispers of the looming war. A conversation occurs that touches on the consequences of political actions, particularly regarding the punishment of dissenters like Mr. Prynne, revealing the characters' varying perceptions of justice. As they navigate daily life, the undercurrents of their thoughts and discussions foreshadow the devastation that the Civil War will bring to their lives and the community around them, setting the stage for the unfolding drama.
