"Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 62, No. 383, September 1847" by Various is a periodical publication written in the mid-19th century. This volume features a narrative following the protagonist, Augustus Reginald Dunshunner, who finds himself in a financial panic and decides to stand for election to avoid personal ruin. The story dives into the world of political maneuvering, social commentary, and the complexities of electoral politics during this historical time. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to Dunshunner as he converses with his friend Bob M'Corkindale, who informs him about the dire state of the financial market. With the backdrop of economic distress, Dunshunner, burdened by debts and a failing investment in a railway company, embarks on a journey to secure a political position. Bob's suggestion to run for Parliament becomes a turning point for Dunshunner, who must navigate the socio-political landscape, including the mysterious "Clique" that influences elections. The opening vividly sets the stage for a satirical exploration of electioneering, ambition, and the social dynamics within a small Scottish town. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 62.8 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
