Summary: "Shameless Wayne: A Romance of the last Feud of Wayne and Ratcliffe" by Halliwell Sutcliffe is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a fierce family feud on the moors, centered around the titular character, Shameless Wayne, and his family's long-standing rivalry with the Ratcliffes. The narrative introduces themes of love, honor, and vengeance as the characters navigate the tumultuous landscape of their intertwined fates. The opening of the narrative sets a foreboding tone as the Sexton’s wife tolls the death bell for Anthony Wayne, the patriarch of the Wayne family, while expressing contempt for his wife who seems indifferent to his passing. As the storm rages outside, Nell Wayne, his daughter, arrives to mourn her father and prepare for his funeral, revealing her inner turmoil and resolve for revenge against Dick Ratcliffe, who she believes is responsible for her father's death. A moment of tension occurs when Nell decides to confront Ratcliffe directly, armed with a dagger, while also grappling with complicated family dynamics that include her brother Shameless Wayne, who has been drinking and is unaware of the tragedy. The opening chapters effectively engage the reader's interest in the personal and familial struggles that will unfold in the wake of this tragedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
