Elliot (Molly Elliot) Seawell, Molly Elliott Throckmorton: A Novel Produced by D Alexander and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Throckmorton: A Novel" by Molly Elliot Seawell is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. Set in a secluded Virginia neighborhood, the narrative revolves around the lives of the Temple family and their interactions with the newly returned George Throckmorton, a former soldier deemed a traitor for fighting against the Confederacy during the Civil War. The book intricately explores themes of loss, social tensions in a recovering post-war South, and the complexities of love and familial devotion through its characters, particularly focusing on Judith Temple and Jacqueline Temple, along with the general and Mrs. Temple. The opening of the novel introduces the picturesque lowland Virginia setting, highlighting its charming stillness and the quaint idiosyncrasies of its residents. It vividly describes the Temple family dynamics, exploring the effects of their son Beverley's death and the lingering shadow it casts over their lives, especially on Judith, who is left as a young widow. General Temple is depicted as a grand yet flawed figure, while Mrs. Temple is consumed with the memory of her lost son. The arrival of George Throckmorton, both a figure of nostalgia and controversy, sets the stage for a complex interplay of emotions as the characters navigate their past and the societal judgment they face, particularly regarding the war’s painful legacy. The opening intricately describes the characters' relationships and sets up the anticipated societal challenges as they confront their history and possible future connections with Throckmorton and his son, Jack.
