hardcover. Condizione: Good. Unknown. Title: The Serf Author: Guy Thorne (pseudonym Cyril Arthur Edward, Ranger Gull) Format/Binding: Hardcover, No jacket Edition: Unknown Publisher: R. F. Fenno & Co. Date Published: Circa 1907 Size: 8vo Pages: 310 + ads "A story of England during the reign of King Stephen when the serfs reached the limit of their endurance under the oppression of the barons. The author has made a careful study of the history of medieval times and his narrative is a vivid portrayal of the conditions that existed in the first half of the 20th century. The hero is a serf whose daughters are captured and taken to the castle for the pleasure of its inmates. Tortured to the limit of his strength, he and other serfs plan to kill his master, and the story resounds with the clash of swords and cries of battle that result from the insurrection. In order to give the true atmosphere and color of the period when the action occurs the author describes with as much delicacy as possible the bestial habits of the nobles and the priests recording anecdotes and legends illustrative of the beliefs and superstitions of the people." -The bookseller 1907 No date.
