The Broken Font (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Story of the Civil War (Complete Edition: Vol. 1&2)By Moyle Sherer
Length13h 45m
About this audiobook
The Broken Font is a historical romance set amid the fractures of the English Civil War, where private loyalties, inherited faith, and political allegiance are tested by public violence. Sherer's narrative combines antiquarian detail with the moral earnestness of early nineteenth-century fiction, placing domestic scenes and religious symbolism beside episodes of military unrest. In the tradition of Scott, yet more overtly devotional in tone, the novel treats history not merely as spectacle but as a theatre of conscience. Moyle Sherer was a British army officer and man of letters whose career was shaped by the upheavals of the Napoleonic age. His service in the Peninsular War, subsequent captivity, and later literary work gave him a keen interest in the costs of conflict and the instability of political fortune. That experience helps explain the novel's sympathy for courage, endurance, and moral steadfastness under historical pressure. Readers interested in nineteenth-century historical fiction, religiously inflected romance, and literary responses to civil conflict will find The Broken Font rewarding. It offers both a window into seventeenth-century turmoil and a revealing example of post-Waverley historical imagination.
