Summary "Bristol Bells: A Story of the Eighteenth Century" by Emma Marshall is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the life of Bryda Palmer, a young woman living on a farm at a time when her family faces financial ruin due to her grandfather's debts. This quest for resolution takes her to Bristol, intertwining her fate with the esteemed poet Thomas Chatterton and the harsh realities of societal expectations. The opening of the story introduces Bryda's longing for freedom and adventure, as she seeks her grandfather's permission to work for a relation in Bristol. Despite her grandfather's resistance and the weight of familial disgrace due to her father's past, Bryda becomes increasingly determined to break free from her mundane existence. Her interactions with her sister, Betty, and the various characters in her life, including the boisterous Jack Henderson and the formidable Squire Bayfield, set the stage for a journey filled with ambition, challenge, and the pursuit of identity amidst financial crises in 18th-century England.
