"At the 'Sign of the Golden Fleece': A Story of Reformation Days" by Emma Leslie is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book is set during the tumultuous Reformation Days, exploring the clash between traditional beliefs and the emerging new learning, embodied by the translation of the Scriptures into English. The story centers around Miles Paton, a young university student, whose life is marked by his commitment to the new learning and the challenges that come with it, particularly in relation to his family's and society's expectations. The opening of the novel introduces us to a lively scene at the Oxford Autumn Fair, where the spirited interactions between students and merchants foreshadow the larger conflicts of the time. Miles Paton is caught up in a brawl between supporters of the new learning and defenders of the old ways, suffering injuries that set the stage for deeper personal and social upheavals. As he recuperates, he learns of his brother's tragic death and the escalating struggle over land and morality in his village, leading him to question the ethics of his father's decisions regarding their tenants. This instigates a confrontation with his father and sets Miles on a path of advocacy for justice, further complicated by his aspirations to translate the Greek New Testament into English, challenging the constraints imposed by the established Church and society.
