"The Parson O' Dumford" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Reverend Murray Selwood, the new vicar of Dumford, and his interactions with the rough, independent working-class citizens of the town. The narrative captures the struggles of the clergy to connect with their parishioners while dealing with local social dynamics and personal relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Murray Selwood as he travels to Dumford, encountering a rough workman whom he seeks to befriend despite their differing backgrounds. This encounter sets the tone for his new life, as he learns about the challenges and social tensions within the community, particularly regarding relations between the workers and the factory owner, Richard Glaire. The opening also hints at romantic tensions, showcasing Glaire’s complicated feelings toward two women, Eve Pelly and Daisy Banks, while the vicar's kindness and straightforwardness draw him closer to the townsfolk in unexpected ways. As Selwood aims to establish his role, he quickly finds himself entangled in both friendships and conflicts that will define his time in Dumford. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
