| Summary | "Hepplestall's" by Harold Brighouse is a novel written in the early 20th century. It appears to revolve around the character Reuben Hepplestall, who navigates societal challenges, ambition, and personal desires as he transitions from a young Jacobite to a cotton manufacturer. The story hints at themes of class conflict, the rise of industrialization, and personal relationships that are set against the backdrop of changing times. The opening of "Hepplestall's" begins with a foreword discussing an 'outworn passion' that serves as a metaphor for the story's themes of hatred and ambition. Subsequently, readers are introduced to Reuben Hepplestall, whose Jacobite leanings are primarily rooted in his disdain for Sir Harry Whitworth, a local aristocrat. This rivalry sets the stage for Hepplestall's aspirations to rise socially and economically through cotton manufacturing. Characters such as the unscrupulous Reverend Bantison and the attractive Dorothy Verners emerge, hinting at interpersonal dynamics that will likely develop as the narrative unfolds. Overall, the beginning sets a tone of rebellion and ambition intertwined with the complexities of love and class structure. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
