520 _a"God and the King" by Marjorie Bowen is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the late 17th century, it explores themes of political intrigue and religious conflict in England, particularly surrounding the tumultuous period of the Glorious Revolution. The story features prominent historical figures such as King James II and William of Orange, weaving their interactions and the mounting tensions of the time into a compelling narrative filled with animosity and loyalty. The opening of the book establishes the character of King James II as he reacts to the unrest brewing in London, which is marked by celebratory noises about the recent acquittal of bishops he sees as disloyal. Through conversations with his advisor, Lord Sunderland, we see James’s growing paranoia and determination to assert his authority despite rising dissent among the Protestant populace. The narrative also introduces various court personalities, their loyalties, and the intricate web of alliances at play, setting the stage for political maneuvering and impending conflict as the tensions of the time escalate toward revolution. The detailed descriptions and richly drawn characters hint at a larger story about faith, power dynamics, and the struggle for control in a historically significant era.
