''The Vicar of the Marches'' is a novel written by Clinton Scollard and published in 1910. The story is set in England during the 17th century and follows the life of a young man named Richard Inglesant. Richard is the son of a nobleman who is killed in battle, leaving him orphaned and alone. He is taken in by a kindly vicar who becomes his mentor and guides him through his formative years.As Richard grows up, he becomes embroiled in the political and religious turmoil of the era, which is marked by the English Civil War and the rise of Puritanism. He becomes a soldier and fights for the Royalist cause, but his experiences on the battlefield leave him disillusioned with war and violence.Throughout the novel, Richard struggles to reconcile his faith with the violence and chaos of the world around him. He is torn between his loyalty to the Church of England and his sympathy for the Puritans, who he sees as sincere but misguided. Ultimately, he must choose between his duty to his country and his conscience.''The Vicar of the Marches'' is a historical novel that explores themes of faith, loyalty, and political upheaval. It is a vivid portrayal of life in 17th century England and offers a glimpse into the minds of the people who lived through this tumultuous period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
