| Summary | "Harding of Allenwood" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on Craig Harding, a determined pioneer, as he navigates the challenges of settling on the Canadian prairie during a time of significant change. The narrative unfolds amidst the tensions between the traditional settlers of Allenwood, represented by Colonel Mowbray and his family, and the newcomers like Harding who embody the spirit of progress and practicality. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Harding and his companion, Fred Devine, as they clear land in preparation for their homesteads amidst the vast, unpopulated prairie. Their conversations reflect both the optimistic future potential of agriculture in the region and the challenges they face due to the existing customs upheld by the affluent settlers of Allenwood. The narrative shifts as Harding encounters Beatrice Mowbray, sparking a connection that introduces themes of class, ambition, and the struggle between old-world traditions and new-world realities. As their lives intertwine, Harding’s ambitions will clash with the expectations of Beatrice’s family, setting the stage for personal and societal conflicts as they strive to build their lives in a rapidly changing landscape.
