Two Men: A Romance of Sussex
Produced by Al Haines
"Two Men: A Romance of Sussex" by Alfred Ollivant is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores themes of familial dynamics, personal struggles, and the contrast between tradition and modernity against the picturesque backdrop of Sussex. The story introduces us to Edward Caspar, a reluctant heir, and his father Hans Caspar, a powerful railway contractor who grapples with the complexities of raising a son like Edward, who embodies sensitivity and artistic aspirations in a world that demands toughness and resilience. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the setting of Beachbourne and the reverberating influence of the sea and the landscape on its inhabitants. The opening portrays a picturesque scene at Beau-nez, eventually shifting focus to the relationship between Hans and Edward. We witness a stark contrast in their characters and their lives; Hans, a confident and authoritative figure, stands in stark opposition to Edward, who struggles with self-doubt and a stutter. As the narrative unfolds, we find hints of deeper personal conflicts within their family with the introduction of Edward's wife, Anne, and their children. This opening segment captures the essence of evolving identities against the backdrop of establishment and the inherent struggles of their intertwined destinies.
