I say, is there anything grander than being an EnglishMAN under the good queen Bess? Not according to Charles Kingsley. For a modern reader the plot is slow moving and the characters very black or white, and painfully long winded in their speech.
Still, it was an interesting window to how people were thinking, not during the reign of Elizabeth I, but in the late 1800's. Regardless of all the worrisome things happening in Europe today, at least I expect most people to disagree with most of Kingsley's values.
