520 _a"A March on London: Being a Story of Wat Tyler's Insurrection" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the events surrounding the uprising of the Commons during the reign of Richard II, focusing on the character of Edgar Ormskirk, the son of a scholar, as he navigates the societal upheaval caused by heavy taxation and the struggles of the peasantry for their rights. The opening of the book introduces us to Edgar as a young boy living a sheltered life with his father, who is absorbed in scientific studies. As Edgar grows up, he is educated in arms and develops a strong sense of justice and compassion for the plight of the common people. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of rising tensions in England, as discontent with the oppressive taxation system culminates in a call to arms led by the charismatic Wat Tyler. As Edgar becomes more aware of the mounting grievances of the serfs, he grapples with the complexities of loyalty, leadership, and the consequences of rebellion. The stage is set for a clash between the aspirations of the oppressed and the inevitable responses of those in power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
