| 520 | _a"London Pride, Or, When the World Was Younger" by M. E. Braddon is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the English Civil War, the story follows Sir John Kirkland, a loyalist cavalier, and his daughter Angela as they navigate the turbulent times of political strife and personal loss. The narrative begins with Sir John, burdened by sorrow for his murdered King and the desolation that besets the realm, while he escorts his daughter to a convent in Louvain for her safety. The opening of the novel sets a somber tone as it describes a cold, harsh winter, emphasizing the dismal realities of war and exile. Sir John and young Angela are depicted as weary travelers, marked by their personal losses—their home ravaged and their family ties strained. Through their journey, the reader is introduced to themes of loyalty, faith, and the weight of history, particularly as Sir John reflects on the martyrdom of King Charles and the fate of the royal family. Angela, juxtaposed against her father’s grim outlook, embodies innocence and hope, offering a poignant contrast to the burdens of the past that weigh heavily on her father’s heart. The opening portions effectively set up a narrative that is poised to explore the complexities of family bonds amidst the chaos of a nation in turmoil.
