The History of Henry Esmond, Esq., a Colonel in the Service of Her Majesty Queen Anne Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_Henry_Esmond Produced by Donald Lainson; David Widger "The History of Henry Esmond, Esq., a Colonel in the Service of Her Majesty…" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a historical novel written during the mid-19th century. Set in the early 18th century, the narrative follows the experiences and reflections of Henry Esmond, a young man of noble descent, who is shaped by the tumultuous political landscape of his time, particularly in relation to the monarchy and his family's legacy. The opening of the story introduces us to the world of Henry Esmond through the perspective of his daughter, Rachel Esmond Warrington. She memorializes her father, recounting his life, achievements, and the struggles of the Esmond family. Through her lens, readers learn about the family's history, significant events that shaped their lives, and the bond Henry shared with his parents. The narrative sets a keen tone on themes of loyalty, loss, and familial duty, painting a vivid picture of the early lives of the Esmonds and laying the groundwork for Henry's own journey toward self-discovery amidst the backdrop of the sociopolitical climate of Queen Anne's reign.
