| Summary | "Thirty Years Since; or, The Ruined Family" by G. P. R. James is a novel written in the mid-19th century. This story unfolds against the backdrop of Victorian society and addresses themes of social class, the ruins of a once-great family, and the complex interplay of fate and personal choices. The narrative begins with a thoughtful young traveler and includes the character of Captain Delaware, offering the groundwork for a tale that interweaves personal relationships with societal expectations. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, a well-built and curious young man, as he embarks on a journey through London in a hackney coach. He contemplates the city around him, expressing both admiration and disdain for its complexities. As the story begins to unfold, he encounters Captain Delaware, who later reveals his connection to Emberton Park, where the Delawares live under strained circumstances. The contrast between the characters' backgrounds becomes apparent, showcasing their differing perspectives on wealth, class, and ambition. This rich setting invites readers to explore the characters' fortunes and misfortunes as they navigate their intertwined lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
