520 _a"St. George's Cross; Or, England Above All" by H. G. Keene is a historical novel set in the late 19th century that explores the complexities of life in the Channel Islands during the 17th century. The narrative follows Mr. William Prynne, a suspended Member of Parliament, who finds himself caught between political factions and personal dilemmas. It delves into themes of loyalty, political intrigue, and the personal ramifications of larger historical events, particularly surrounding the tumultuous period during and after the execution of Charles I. The opening of the novel introduces Prynne, who reflects on his past injustices as he sits by a window in London, keeping an eye out for a visitor. The arrival of Michael Lempriere, an exiled Jerseyman, leads to a conversation filled with personal conflicts and political tensions, highlighting various factions vying for control amidst the backdrop of civil unrest in Jersey. As they discuss their loyalty to the monarchy versus their personal beliefs, the tension between the different parties is palpable. Prynne's philosophical musings and Lempriere’s passionate responses set the stage for the unfolding drama, as they contemplate their intertwined fates in the face of England's complex political landscape.
