| Summary | "For God and Gold" by Julian Stafford Corbett is a historical narrative that likely examines themes from the late 19th century. The text appears to depict the life of Mr. Jasper Festing, a scholar and Puritan, as he navigates the complexities of his father's death and the political and religious tensions of his time. The book also introduces a significant character, Sir Francis Drake, integrating historical events such as Drake's voyages, which could further illuminate the interplay between history and individual experience. The opening of the narrative sets the stage with reflections from Jasper Festing, who, at fourteen, deals with his father's austere legacy while longing for freedom and personal growth. It outlines significant relationships and events surrounding his father's death and the arrival of influential figures, including Sir Fulke Waldyve and the preacher Drake, hinting at a tumultuous socio-political landscape. Festing's internal struggles and aspirations unfold, as he grapples with the significance of his father's legacy and begins to understand the broader implications of faith and ambition within the context of a changing England.
