Henry Dunbar: A Novel
Produced by Jonathan Ingram and Distributed Proofreaders
"Henry Dunbar: A Novel" by M. E. Braddon is a fiction novel written in the mid-19th century, characterized by its intricate exploration of relationships and moral complexities within a dramatic narrative. The story delves into the life of Henry Dunbar, the heir to a wealthy banking family who has been estranged from his home for thirty-five years due to a forgery scandal associated with his youth. As the plot unfolds, themes of sin, retribution, and the consequences of one's actions come to the forefront, involving various characters who are connected to Dunbar and his past. The opening of the novel introduces us to the opulent yet secretive banking firm of Dunbar, Dunbar, and Balderby, where discussions about the impending return of Henry Dunbar set the stage for the narrative. We meet key figures like Mr. Balderby and old clerk Sampson Wilmot, who reflects on the past as they prepare for Dunbar's arrival. Through their conversation, we learn of the tragic backstory involving a forgery that Dunbar committed in his youth, which not only altered his destiny but also led to the ruin of another, Joseph Wilmot, who has now returned. This intricately woven tale promises a gripping exploration of the intersections of fate and choice, setting the foundation for the dramatic encounters that are sure to follow.
