(Theodore Brown) 1871 Cowardice Court Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by Google Books "Cowardice Court" by George Barr McCutcheon is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows the developing feud between Lord Bazelhurst, a disgruntled aristocrat, and Randolph Shaw, a young American landowner, as they navigate their mutual disdain for each other over a land dispute marked by fishing rights. The narrative is filled with wit and humor, particularly through the interactions between the aristocratic characters and their down-to-earth adversary. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Lord Bazelhurst and his entourage as they express their frustration with Mr. Shaw for fishing on their property. The tensions illustrate the cultural divides between the entitled English nobility, as represented by Lord Bazelhurst and his young American wife, and the boldness of Shaw, who refuses to back down from the conflict. As the opening unfolds, we also catch a glimpse of Penelope, Lord Bazelhurst's sister, adding an interesting dynamic to the story by showcasing her evolving perception of Shaw and the cowardice of her brother's attitude. This complex interplay sets the stage for a series of comedic and dramatic encounters, highlighting the absurdities of their social class and the budding connections that may be formed across the societal divide.
