Summary | "Arrah Neil; or, Times of Old" by G. P. R. James is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the English Civil War and revolves around the character of Arrah Neil, a young girl grappling with personal loss and larger societal upheaval, specifically the conflict around the town of Hull. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, mourning, and the stark realities of war amidst a tapestry of romance and adventure. The opening of the novel introduces a picturesque landscape and a glimpse into the life of Arrah Neil, who is portrayed as a beautiful yet troubled young girl sitting by a fountain. As she reflects on the sorrows of her life, particularly regarding her grandfather’s imprisonment, a gallant stranger, Lord Walton, enters the scene, seeking directions. Their interaction hints at the potential for a deeper connection, despite her foreboding feelings about his safety. The chapter progresses through vivid descriptions of the surroundings and set-ups for conflicts to come, such as the looming threat of war and the character dynamics between Arrah, Lord Walton, and others who may seek to affect their destinies amid the chaos of their times.
