(Hablot Knight) "Phiz" The Knight Of Gwynne, Vol. 1 (of 2) Produced by David Widger "The Knight of Gwynne, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Charles James Lever is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book involves a narrative set during the political and social upheaval surrounding the Union of Great Britain and Ireland, focusing on characters like Lord Castlereagh, Dick Forester, and the titular Knight of Gwynne, Maurice Darcy. The story delves into themes of loyalty, political maneuvering, and the complexities of Irish identity during this tumultuous period. The opening of the book begins with Lever’s preface, detailing his inspiration for the story while residing in Tyrol, and sets the stage for the narrative's Irish backdrop. The first chapter introduces a group gathered in Dublin, discussing political matters related to the controversial Union while showcasing the personalities involved, particularly Lord Castlereagh's ambition and the youthful exuberance of Dick Forester. The chapter paints a vivid picture of the social dynamics at play, foreshadowing the encounters Forester will have as he sets off on a mission to win the support of the Knight of Gwynne, a man whose principles may not be easily swayed by political incentives. Thus, the introduction hints at a rich exploration of character interactions and the historical implications of their choices.
