The Huguenot Lovers: A Tale Of The Old Dominion is a novel written by Collinson Pierrepont Edwards Burgwyn and published in 1889. Set in colonial Virginia during the 17th century, the story follows the lives of two Huguenot lovers, Paul and Marie, as they struggle to survive in a society that is hostile to their religious beliefs.Paul and Marie are both descendants of French Huguenots who fled persecution in Europe and settled in Virginia. Despite their love for each other, they are forced to keep their relationship a secret due to the prevailing anti-Huguenot sentiment in the colony.As they navigate the challenges of their society, including the threat of violence from their enemies, Paul and Marie are also confronted with personal struggles. Paul must come to terms with his family’s history of violence, while Marie grapples with her own feelings of guilt over her past actions.Throughout the novel, Burgwyn explores themes of love, faith, and identity against the backdrop of colonial Virginia. The Huguenot Lovers is a compelling historical fiction that offers a glimpse into the lives of early settlers in America and the struggles they faced.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
