About this book

Church, crown and conscience shape Jane West's historical novel of England during the Civil War of 1642 to 1649. Published in 1812, the three-volume work introduces its troubled setting through a firmly royalist account of national prosperity, rebellion and religious division. West presents adversity as a test of conviction and treats private duties, generosity and endurance as parts of the wider struggle over political authority.

The middle excerpt brings these concerns into a conversation between Mr. Barton and Dr. Beaumont. Barton argues for an established church alongside freedom for other beliefs, while Beaumont fears that competing congregations will encourage disputes and distract people from moral conduct. Their disagreement gives the novel room for sustained religious argument as well as historical narrative.
