Juliet Sutherland, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Gold and Glory; or, Wild Ways of Other Days" by Grace Stebbing is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative begins against the backdrop of 1485 Spain, a tumultuous period marked by the dominance of the Spanish Inquisition and the resulting turmoil faced by the Aragonese nobility. Central to the story is Montoro de Diego, a noble burdened with shame and anger towards the harsh Inquisition and its enforcers, who grapple with the challenges of honor, love, and rebellion amidst the persecution of innocent lives. The opening portion introduces the dire setting of Saragossa, where the oppressive control of Inquisitor Arbues de Epila casts a long shadow over the lives of the characters. We meet Montoro and his companions, who emerge as conspirators against this tormentor. A significant discussion unfolds about resistance to tyranny, with themes of shame, honor, and the pursuit of justice looming large. As the characters navigate their personal and communal tragedies, especially regarding those accused unjustly, the stage is set for a story that intertwines historical strife with individual triumphs and tribulations. This initial glimpse hints at intricate character relationships and the potential for rebellion, drawing readers into a compelling tale of early American discovery and valor.
