| Summary |
"Godolphin, Volume 2" by Edward Bulwer Lytton (Lord Lytton) is a novel written during the mid-19th century. This continuation of the story follows the complex emotional entanglement between the main characters, Percy Godolphin and Constance Vernon, as they grapple with love, ambition, and societal expectations amid a backdrop of romantic idealism and harsh realities. At the start of this volume, we witness the deepening feelings between Godolphin and Constance through their shared moments of intimacy, reflection, and literary discussion. Godolphin, though captivated by Constance’s beauty and spirit, is plagued by doubts regarding his own uncertain future and social standing. Constance, on the other hand, balances her burgeoning affection for Godolphin with her desire for power and a better life, fully aware of the limitations placed on her as the daughter of a fallen house. Their relationship is marked by a series of misunderstandings and philosophical debates, which sets the stage for further conflict as they navigate the intricacies of love and personal ambition against the backdrop of their respective familial legacies.
