520 _a"I Will Maintain" by Marjorie Bowen is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John de Witt, a prominent figure in the politics of the Dutch Republic, as he navigates the complexities of governance while mentoring the young Prince William of Orange. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and the struggles of a republic at odds with its royal lineage, as tensions arise from competing political factions. The opening of the novel presents John de Witt in a moment of deliberation with Sir William Temple, discussing the precarious state of the young prince's position and the intrigues that threaten their republic. De Witt expresses his deep sense of responsibility and commitment to the ideals of the republic, while grappling with the rising influence of the Orange party, represented by a prince whom he is both educating and safeguarding. The scene is marked by a palpable tension as the secretary Florent van Mander observes the intricate dynamics between De Witt and the prince, reflecting his ambitions and doubts about the future of their political landscape. The reader is introduced to a world teetering on the brink of conflict, underscoring each character's motivations and the overarching struggle for power within a fragile state.
