520			_a"By What Authority?" by Robert Hugh Benson is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous religious conflicts of Elizabethan England, the narrative explores the intertwining lives of several characters living in a small village, particularly focusing on the Catholic Maxwell family and the Protestant Norris family. The story delves into themes of faith, loyalty, and the personal impact of broader societal struggles, showcasing the complexities of religious identity during this period. At the start of the novel, the setting is introduced in the village of Great Keynes, juxtaposing the quiet life there with the political unrest affecting England. The narrative centers on the Maxwell family, particularly old Sir Nicholas, who remains steadfast in his Catholic faith despite the pressures of the Reformation, and his two sons, Mr. James and Hubert, each representing different responses to the era's changing religious landscape. Meanwhile, the Norris family represents the Protestant perspective, particularly through Mr. Norris and his daughter Isabel, who grapples with her feelings toward the suave and complex Hubert. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for the central conflicts of the novel, outlining the complicated relationships between these characters as they navigate their faiths amid external challenges and personal dilemmas.
