The narrative primarily revolves around the life of the titular character, Richard Carvel, as he navigates the complexities of family, wealth, and social status in colonial Maryland during a time of growing unrest leading up to the American Revolution. The story's foundation is built upon themes of loyalty, love, and the struggles of identity, particularly as Richard grapples with his lineage and the expectations placed upon him by family and society. The opening of "Richard Carvel" introduces readers to Richard's grandfather, Lionel Carvel, a significant figure in colonial Maryland, respected both for his wealth and character, albeit a loyalist during a time of rebellion. Through a reflective lens, Richard recalls his childhood memories and the warmth of Carvel Hall, where he enjoyed a privileged upbringing despite the looming presence of his scheming Uncle Grafton. The initial chapters set the stage for Richard's journey, depicting his close bond with his grandfather and his feelings for his cousin, the spirited Dorothy Manners, while hinting at the tensions that will arise from conflicting loyalties and societal change.
