Produced by Charles Bowen from page scans provided by Google Books (Harvard University) "Rose D'Albret; or Troublous Times" by G. P. R. James is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. Set during the tumultuous period of French history, it explores themes of love, obligation, and societal constraints placed upon women, particularly in the context of feudal arrangements and guardianship. The narrative focuses on the titular character, Rose d'Albret, as she navigates the challenges of her impending marriage, which is arranged without her consent, and delves into the broader socio-political backdrop of the time. At the start of the novel, the author presents a vivid portrayal of the difficulties faced by women in feudal society, highlighting their lack of agency in matters of marriage and personal happiness. The opening chapters also introduce significant characters, including Michael Chasseron, a farmer with a storied past, and Louis de Montigni, who returns home to a divided France. As they encounter armed marauders, the tension builds, illustrating the precariousness of life in this era. The story hints at Rose's complicated emotional landscape and foreshadows her struggle between duty and desire, thereby setting the stage for the unfolding drama against a backdrop of political strife and personal conflict.
