Summary "Monk" by Julian Stafford Corbett is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the life of George Monk, a significant figure during the tumultuous periods of early 17th-century England, particularly the English Civil Wars. It details his rise as a soldier, the family background that influenced his career, and the broader political and military contexts of his time. The opening of the book sets the scene in September 1625, as young George Monk, a spirited and headstrong adolescent, finds himself embroiled in a confrontation with an under-sheriff just as the king prepares for a naval expedition against the Spanish. This episode reveals Monk's early propensities for valor and loyalty, deeply rooted in his family's military traditions and honor. His subsequent decision to join the military as a volunteer sets him on a path that intertwines with the key events of the era, laying the groundwork for his future as a pivotal military leader. The narrative captures not just Monk's personal journey, but also reflects on the larger conflicts shaping England's fate during the Civil War period. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
