| Summary | "The Eve of All-Hallows; Or, Adelaide of Tyrconnel, v. 2 of 3" by Hartstonge is a historical romance written in the early 19th century. The narrative centers around the tumultuous events surrounding the Battle of the Boyne, exploring themes of loyalty, valor, and the consequences of conflict. The characters include notable figures from the era, such as King James and the Duke of Tyrconnel, offering a lens into both personal and national struggles during a pivotal moment in Irish history. At the start of the novel, the scene unfolds on the fateful morning of July 1, 1690, as the forces of King William of Orange prepare to cross the Boyne River against King James II's entrenched army. The narrative vividly describes the march of troops, the sounds of battle preparation, and the strategies employed by both sides as they ready themselves for confrontation. Amidst this chaos, personal stories intertwine with historical events as figures like Count Schomberg and the Duke of Tyrconnel showcase bravery and leadership, ultimately revealing the sacrifices made in the pursuit of loyalty to crown and country. The opening portion sets the stage for the unfolding drama, establishing a gripping backdrop for the characters’ destinies entangled with the conflict. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
