"Robert Annys: Poor Priest. A Tale of the Great Uprising" by Annie Nathan Meyer is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Robert Annys, a poor priest who becomes embroiled in the tensions and injustices of 14th-century England amidst the backdrop of social upheaval and revolutionary ideas. The narrative explores themes of faith, social justice, and the crisis within the Church as Annys grapples with his convictions and the realities of the world around him. The opening of the book introduces Robert Annys standing before the majestic Ely Minster on a November evening in 1379. He is depicted as a solitary figure in rough clothing, reflecting on his commitment to the poor and the teachings of his mentor, John Wyclif. Annys, who dedicates his life to spreading the Gospel among the impoverished, is increasingly disillusioned by the oppressive structures of the Church and society. He experiences a moment of awakening as he witnesses the stark contrast between the grandeur of the Minster and the harsh realities of his people's lives. The chapter sets the stage for his internal conflict, his admiration for the sentiments of the revolutionary priest John Ball, and his eventual decision to embrace his role as a reformer for the oppressed, marking a significant turning point in the narrative.
