| Summary | "John Enderby" by Gilbert Parker is a historical novel set during the early 17th century, reflecting the tumultuous period of the English Civil War. The narrative revolves around John Enderby, a proud and honorable squire from Lincolnshire, who is reluctantly bestowed with a knighthood by King Charles I. Enderby's strong sense of loyalty and his moral convictions place him at odds with the monarch and the political machinations of the era, primarily as he grapples with a burgeoning estate and his responsibilities towards his family. The story unfolds as Enderby valiantly resists the pressures of accepting the knighthood and its accompanying taxes, which threaten to strip him of his hard-earned land. His defiance results in his outlawry, leading Enderby to protect his children while navigating a complex web of loyalty, honor, and rebellion. Amidst encounters with loyalists and enemies alike, including his estranged son Garrett, the novel highlights the contrasts between fatherly duty and individual aspirations. The saga culminates in themes of sacrifice and redemption, as Enderby's unwavering integrity ultimately finds acknowledgment amidst the shifting tides of history, with the King's eventual recognition of his loyalty serving as a poignant testament to his character.
