Everett-Green is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on a character named Dicon Snowe, a young man with a crooked back who is deeply affected by the political turmoil surrounding the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion against the Catholic King James II. The narrative unfolds during a period of significant social and political upheaval in England, capturing the hopes and fears of the West Country people who rally around Monmouth as a potential hero. The opening of the novel introduces us to Dicon, who reflects on his past as he prepares to recount his story. He describes his upbringing as the youngest son of a farmer, his familial connections in the innkeeping business, and the superstitions regarding his deformity, which he believes is the result of a witch's curse. The reader learns about his formative experiences, including a significant moment when he is touched by the Duke of Monmouth, which he perceives as a miracle that cures his ailments. It sets the stage for Dicon's involvement in the political climate of his time, hinting at the role the Duke will play both in his life and in the larger narrative of rebellion and loyalty amid a restless populace.
