Changing Winds
A Novel
E-text prepared by David Garcia and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Changing Winds" by St. John G. Ervine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Mr. Quinn, a complex and spirited character from Northern Ireland, who grapples with his identity, his views on politics and society, and his aspirations for his son, Henry. The book explores themes of nationalism, personal integrity, and the clash between tradition and modernity through the lens of Mr. Quinn's outspoken nature and his relationship with his son. The opening of "Changing Winds" introduces Mr. Quinn and his character through his interactions with William Henry Matier, a long-serving gardener. Quinn's strong political beliefs, especially regarding Ireland's Unionism, starkly contrast with the expectations of society around him. As he reflects on his past failures and the societal changes around him, we witness his pride in his Irish heritage and disdain for English influences. The narrative hints at the influence of his late wife and the expectations he has for his son’s upbringing, setting the stage for a family dynamic flavored by both tenderness and tension as Mr. Quinn yearns to instill his values into Henry, who is in the throes of forming his own identity.
