520 _a"Arnold's Tempter" by Benjamin F. Comfort is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the American Revolutionary War and revolves around the intrigues and political machinations in Philadelphia, highlighting key figures such as Roderick Barclugh and Benedict Arnold. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and the tension between aristocratic values and emerging democratic ideals. The opening of the novel introduces Roderick Barclugh, who arrives in Philadelphia for an important dinner hosted by Robert FitzMaurice, where he will meet key political figures, including General Benedict Arnold and his wife, Peggy. The social dynamics at the gathering reveal a deep division between loyalists and independence supporters, with dialogue that addresses the complexities and personal motivations behind the American Revolution. Barclugh’s charming persona captures the attention of those around him, and a palpable undercurrent of tension suggests his hidden agendas as he navigates the intricacies of political favor and financial intrigue. The scene sets the stage for the unfolding drama of ambition, betrayal, and moral conflict within the turbulent landscape of the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
