The narrative is set in England during a time of political change and social reaction, engaging with themes of class struggle, reform, and individual aspirations. The story revolves around various characters, including the titular Felix Holt, who is indicative of the radical changes occurring in society, particularly in terms of social justice and political reform. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a rich tapestry of English country life and the contrasting social classes of the time. At the start, the respected lodge-keeper of Transome Court anticipates the return of Harold Transome, a character marked by both promise and complication. The reader gets a glimpse of the complexities within the relationships, notably between Harold and his mother, Mrs. Transome, who harbors high expectations for her son amid her tarnished past and the burdens of family legacy. As these characters are drawn together, tensions surface around Harold's radical political views, which directly challenge the conservative values upheld by his mother and the society surrounding them, hinting at the broader societal conflicts that will unfold throughout the narrative.
