Summary "The Infidel: A Story of the Great Revival" by M. E. Braddon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around William Thornton, a once-ordained clergyman turned infidel, and his daughter Antonia, who assist each other in their struggles within the literary world of London. As they navigate the challenges of their lives, themes of faith, intellect, and social aspiration become prevalent, providing a rich exploration of human character in the face of societal expectations. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to William Thornton, a prolific writer who has fallen from grace, and his daughter Antonia, who helps him in his literary endeavors. The opening chapter reveals Thornton's past as a disgraced priest, driven by practical needs to write for the market rather than for passion or belief. Through his self-pity and infidel views, we see how he shapes Antonia's upbringing, teaching her to question the beliefs held by her peers. The dynamics of their unconventional home life are further explored, leading to Antonia's perspective and longing for a life filled with the beauty she observes but feels disconnected from. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of her journey as she contemplates her identity against the backdrop of her father's secular beliefs. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
