A. (George Alfred) 1832 1902 Henty, George Alfred Henty, G.A. The Cornet of Horse: A Tale of Marlborough's Wars E-text prepared by Martin Robb "The Cornet of Horse: A Tale of Marlborough's Wars" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the War of the Spanish Succession, it follows young Rupert Holliday, a spirited lad with strong ties to his royalist heritage, as he navigates personal challenges and the turmoil of the era, including his initial fencing lessons and blossoming friendships. The opening of the novel introduces Rupert as he engages in lessons with his fencing master, Monsieur Dessin, and his grandfather, Colonel Holliday, in their home near Derby. Through these initial interactions, the reader gains insight into Rupert’s character and his passion for swordsmanship, as well as the tensions arising from the divided political sentiments of the time. The groundwork for Rupert's adventures is laid early on, hinting at the growth he will undergo as he confronts not only the trials of young adulthood but also the complexities of loyalty and honour amid the backdrop of war, setting the stage for his eventual enlistment in the army.
