Project Gutenberg 2006-05-17 Public domain in the USA. 569 Reade, Charles 1814 1884 Put Yourself in His Place Produced by Donald Lainson; David Widger "Put Yourself in His Place" by Charles Reade is a novel likely written during the mid-19th century. The story unfolds in the industrial town of Hillsborough, a place noted for its vast production of goods yet marred by its own ugliness and moral decay. The narrative centers around themes of class struggle, family bonds, and the impact of industrialization on society, introducing key characters such as Guy Raby, a traditional Tory squire, and Henry Little, an aspiring craftsman, whose intersecting fates may challenge social norms and familial expectations. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the stark contrast of Hillsborough's industrial landscape and the beauty of the surrounding countryside, symbolizing the tensions in society. The opening portion describes a mysterious deserted church on Cairnhope, which becomes a site for curious events. Simultaneously, we see the personal struggles of characters like Guy Raby, who upholds aristocratic values while disdaining the working class, and his sister Edith, who secretly marries a tradesman, challenging familial loyalty and social status. There is also the development of Henry Little, a talented young man navigating the tumultuous world of trades and unions, who finds himself drawn to the social elite while facing hostility from his peers. As tensions rise between aspirations for social mobility and ingrained class prejudices, events begin to unfold that promise conflict and introspection for all involved.
