Brother Copas
E-text prepared by Lionel Sear
"Brother Copas" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a fictional English institution known as St. Hospital, and it centers around various characters, including the Honorary Master Eustace Blanchminster and the intriguing Brother Copas, who is depicted as sharp-witted and somewhat provocative. The narrative appears to explore themes of faith, social class, and the nuanced relationships among the inhabitants of this cloistered community. The opening of the novel introduces the Master of St. Hospital, who is engaged in the meticulous revision of his sermon and showcases his scholarly demeanor and long history with the institution. Alongside him is Mr. Simeon, his dutiful secretary, who fears retribution for a minor mistake. As the Master critiques his work, including references to Brother Copas, a figure both respected and feared within the community, the stage is set to explore the dynamics of life and faith in this peculiar society. The chapter establishes a tone of light tension and wit, hinting at deeper conflicts regarding class, religion, and personal relationships, suggesting a richly layered story ahead.
