Gerald Fitzgerald, the Chevalier: A Novel Produced by David Widger "Gerald Fitzgerald, the Chevalier: A Novel" by Charles James Lever is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of Rome and explores themes of poverty, loyalty, and ambition through the lens of its characters. The main character, Gerald Fitzgerald, is depicted as a youth of noble heritage struggling against the constraints of his circumstances and the expectations placed upon him. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to a grim alley known as the 'Thieves' Corner' in Rome, where we meet Fra Luke and a woman named Mary Fitzgerald, who are discussing a petition for Gerald, Mary's orphaned nephew. The stark realities of their impoverished lives contrast with the remnants of beauty and grace from their past. Gerald is described as a spirited boy full of life, yet he grapples with his identity and the path laid out for him by his guardians. As the narrative progresses, the setting moves through various socio-political intrigues involving the Stuart cause and the Royal family, setting the stage for Gerald's potential rise amid the struggles of his lineage and current plight.
