Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Cathedral: A Novel" by Hugh Walpole is a work of fiction written during the late 19th century, specifically set in the year 1897. The novel centers around Archdeacon Adam Brandon, a prominent and charismatic figure in the town of Polchester, and his complex relationships with his family, the church, and the community. The narrative explores themes of pride, power, and the interplay of personal and spiritual authority amidst the backdrop of a cathedral town. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Archdeacon Brandon, who enjoys a lofty position in Polchester due to his strong personality and physical presence. The opening chapters detail his background, family life, and the environment of the cathedral town, highlighting the contrast between his personal ambitions and the quiet, conservative nature of Polchester. We meet his wife, Mrs. Brandon, and their children, Joan and Falk, whose dynamics within the family are marked by neglect, unacknowledged aspirations, and the looming presence of the cathedral itself. The tension escalates when Falk is unexpectedly sent down from Oxford, hinting at deeper familial conflicts, while the arrival of the new Canon Ronder introduces further change and complexity to Archdeacon Brandon’s established authority in their small, insular community.
