Mount Music
E-text prepared by Alicia Williams and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Mount Music" by E. Oe. Somerville and Martin Ross is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story is set in the idyllic backdrop of late 19th century Ireland and follows the adventures of the Talbot-Lowry family, particularly focusing on the spirited young girl, Christian. As the narrative unfolds, it captures the complexities of childhood play, family dynamics, and the societal implications of the era in which they live. The opening portion of "Mount Music" introduces us to Christian Talbot-Lowry as she engages in spirited play with her brothers, revealing her fierce independence and imagination. As she navigates familial relationships and her position within a changing Ireland marked by political tension, the text paints a vivid picture of her childhood. The backdrop also includes elements of the rural gentry's lifestyle, as portrayed through her father, Major Dick Talbot-Lowry, and her mother, Lady Isabel. Their dynamics, along with the introduction of Larry Coppinger, a cousin with a different worldview, set the stage for explorations of identity, tradition, and rebellion as the children embark on various misadventures amidst the lush landscapes of their home.
