"La Cocarde Rouge" by Stanley John Weyman is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the vicomte de Saux, who finds himself torn between his political beliefs advocating for reform and the expectations of his aristocratic peers, particularly in the face of societal upheaval in pre-Revolutionary France. Central to the plot are themes of loyalty, honor, and the clash of emerging modern ideas against traditional values. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the vicomte de Saux as he engages in an uneasy conversation with the marquis de Saint-Alais on the terrace of his family château. Through their interaction, the tension between aristocratic privilege and the changing political landscape unfolds, with de Saux hinting at his progressive ideals. As discussion veers towards the marquis's sister, Denise, and a growing political unrest, the vicomte grapples with pressure from Saint-Alais and the nobility to join them in supporting a protest against the rising influence of the Third Estate. The scene is set for a broader conflict that promises to explore the vicomte’s loyalty to his friends versus his principles, foreshadowing the turbulence to come in an era on the brink of revolution.
