"The Courtship of Morrice Buckler: A Romance" by A. E. W. Mason is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the titular character, Morrice Buckler, an English gentleman navigating a tumultuous period in history just before the Glorious Revolution. It explores themes of loyalty, adventure, and the complexities of friendship amidst the backdrop of political strife and personal stakes. The opening of the novel presents Morrice Buckler reflecting on a significant period of his past, specifically from September 1685 to September 1687, as he prepares to recount his experiences. He is introduced at his current home, where he comes across a copy of Horace that triggers vivid memories of his youth and adventures. The narrative quickly establishes Morrice’s bond with his friend Sir Julian Harnwood, who is in dire need of his support as he finds himself entangled in a dangerous political situation. The introduction also hints at Morrice's internal struggles with courage and social propriety, setting the stage for the ensuing drama as he learns of his friend’s imprisonment and the urgency of his plight.
