520			_a"The Old Dominion" by G. P. R. James is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. Set in Virginia, the story follows an Englishman, Richard Howard, as he navigates the complexities of Southern society, particularly focusing on themes such as slavery and personal identity. Through his journey, Howard encounters various characters, including slave traders and engaged members of the local gentry, which allows the author to explore the moral and social dilemmas of the time. At the start of the tale, Richard Howard writes a letter to his sister recounting his recent travels through Chesapeake Bay and arrival in Norfolk, Virginia. As he interacts with fellow travelers aboard a schooner, he contemplates the social dynamics and perceptions of the people around him. His observations on slavery and the differences between Northern and Southern attitudes hint at the complexities of his impending journey. Howard's character is shaped by his intention to explore his aunt's estate while grappling with the ethical implications of slavery in the South. He also meets Zed, a resourceful freedman who joins him on his journey, foreshadowing the friendship and bond that will develop as they traverse the intricacies of Virginian society together.
