| Summary | "Two Years Ago, Volume I" by Charles Kingsley is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins with the recollection of a time two years prior to the current events, focusing on two friends, Claude Mellot and his companion Stangrave, as they reflect on their experiences during a turbulent period marked by personal crises and societal challenges. Central themes appear to involve social change, individual struggles, and the dynamics of friendship against a backdrop of national and moral issues. The opening of the novel sets the stage as the two friends discuss their experiences and the lessons learned from a recent pestilence that had left a significant impact on their lives. As they travel to Whitbury, they engage in conversations about politics, morality, and the state of society, referencing historical and contemporary events such as Frémont's election and the institution of slavery. Characters like Claude, the sensitive artist, and Stangrave, an American of apparent aristocratic background, introduce a contrast between idealism and pragmatic politics. The narrative intertwines philosophical discussions with vivid descriptions of the English countryside as they prepare to confront their past and uncover the intricacies of their personal histories.
