Summary "The Old Dominion" by Mary Johnston is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book is set in 17th-century Virginia and revolves around the lives of its residents, particularly focusing on Colonel Verney and his daughter, Patricia, as they navigate the social intricacies and challenges of colonial life during a time of unrest and changing dynamics. The opening of the novel introduces us to Patricia Verney, who eagerly awaits her father's return from Jamestown on a sloop. Accompanied by her cousin, Sir Charles Carew, they engage in light-hearted banter while discussing her father's cargo from England, which includes her extravagant dress for an upcoming party. The scene is set against the backdrop of a lush Virginia plantation, characterized by flourishing gardens and a lively household. As they await the ship's arrival, characters share humorous and familiar exchanges, revealing both their privilege and the complications of their colonial existence. The introduction serves to highlight the contrast between the genteel lifestyle of the plantation and the darker realities of slavery and convict labor stirring within the colony.
