By Emily Marion Harris

Book Overview

Benedictus V1 is a book written by Emily Marion Harris and first published in 1887. It is a historical novel set in the 16th century during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. The story follows the life of Benedictus, a young man who is born into a family of Catholic recusants, who are persecuted for their religious beliefs. As he grows up, Benedictus becomes increasingly involved in the struggle between the Catholics and Protestants in England, and he must navigate the dangerous political and religious landscape of the time. Along the way, he falls in love with a Protestant woman named Elizabeth, who challenges his beliefs and forces him to question his loyalty to his family and his faith. The novel is a richly detailed portrait of life in Tudor England, with vivid descriptions of the people, customs, and politics of the time. It is a compelling tale of love, faith, and loyalty, and a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
