Publisher's Synopsis
The Country Curate is a novel written by George Robert Gleig and published in 1834. Set in rural England, the story follows the life of a young curate named Edward Neville as he navigates the challenges and joys of his ministry. Neville is a sincere and dedicated clergyman, but he struggles to connect with the members of his congregation, who are often suspicious of outsiders and resistant to change. Despite these obstacles, Neville remains committed to his calling and works tirelessly to improve the lives of his parishioners. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a wealthy landowner, a group of rebellious farmers, and a beautiful young woman who captures his heart. As the story unfolds, Neville must confront his own doubts and fears, as well as the prejudices and injustices of the society around him. The Country Curate is a poignant and insightful portrait of rural life in early 19th century England, and a testament to the enduring power of faith and love.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
