"Roland Graeme: Knight. A Novel of Our Time" by Agnes Maule Machar is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character Roland Graeme, a young man driven by an earnest desire to address social injustices, particularly those affecting the working class. As he navigates the challenges of life, he encounters various characters, including ministers and those living in poverty, which shape his understanding of humanity and his mission. The opening portion of the novel introduces the Reverend Cecil Chillingworth, deeply engrossed in preparing a sermon about self-sacrifice within the context of Christianity. His focus is disrupted by visits from Roland Graeme, who seeks to share his vision of promoting human brotherhood through a publication addressing social issues. This interaction highlights the tension between Chillingworth’s conventional views and Graeme's progressive ideas. Additionally, the narrative presents a poignant scene with a sick mother and her young daughter, illustrating the harsh realities of poverty. This sets the stage for Graeme's moral journey as he commits himself to fighting for the betterment of society, reflecting themes of empathy, social reform, and the quest for justice.
