| Summary | "Hildebrand; or, The Days of Queen Elizabeth" is an historical romance written in the mid-19th century. The story begins with a young horseman, identified as Hildebrand, who intervenes heroically in a violent highway robbery, ultimately rescuing a beautiful young woman and her father—a prominent knight—while also sustaining an injury in the process. The narrative establishes a backdrop of intrigue and peril, set against the tumultuous times of Queen Elizabeth's reign. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Hildebrand, a man of youthful vigor marked by the weight of past experiences, reflected in his solemn demeanor. After saving Sir Edgar de Neville and his daughter Evaline from the clutches of highwaymen, the text explores the aftermath of this encounter, where the young cavalier expresses both gratitude and a desire for deeper companionship with the lady he has rescued. As Hildebrand recuperates at the de Neville estate, he navigates burgeoning feelings for Evaline while grappling with the complexities of past loyalty to an old friend who now walks a more perilous path. This opening sets the stage for themes of honor, romance, and the conflicts of personal allegiance in a politically charged world. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
