Set in the early 18th century, The History of Henry Esmond follows the life of a noble-born orphan raised by the aristocratic Castlewood family. Through political intrigue, romantic entanglements, and personal sacrifice, Esmond navigates the complexities of loyalty, honor, and identity during the reign of Queen Anne. Thackerays richly detailed prose and historical immersion offer a poignant reflection on ambition, love, and the cost of virtue in a world shaped by lineage and legacy.
