"Madam Constantia: The Romance of a Prisoner of War in the Revolution" is a historical novel edited by Jefferson Carter and likely written in the early 20th century. This tale unfolds during the American Revolutionary War, focusing on the experiences of Sir Edward Craven, a British officer, as he navigates the tumultuous and violent atmosphere of South Carolina. The central character is Madam Constantia, the daughter of Captain Wilmer, whose interactions with Sir Edward shape the trajectory of the narrative. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a rich exploration of war's impact on personal relationships and societal dynamics. Sir Edward Craven reflects on his time as a prisoner in South Carolina after a failed military engagement, detailing the complex emotions and moral dilemmas faced by both British soldiers and the local populace. As he grapples with his injuries and the threat of violence, the reader is introduced to Madam Constantia, who harbors conflicted feelings about the British forces and her father's role in the conflict. This initial section not only highlights the horrors of war but also hints at the nuanced character development and intricate relationships that will unfold as the story progresses.
