QR code
"The Making of a Bigot" by Rose Macaulay is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around the character Eddy Oliver, a young man navigating his final days at Cambridge, who possesses a fervent and inclusive belief system that leads him to join various social and political groups. The novel explores themes of identity, belief, and the complexities of human relationships intermixed with societal pressures. The
opening of the novel introduces us to a vibrant Cambridge scene filled with youthful energy, where Eddy encounters Miss Jamison while canvassing for the National Service League. His interactions provide a glimpse into his accepting nature and willingness to embrace diverse perspectives, evident in his rapid enrolment in various societies, including some that may not align with his more liberal tendencies. As he attends social engagements, Eddy's enthusiasm for participating in multiple causes is contrasted with the more traditional views of his peers and the clergymen he interacts with, setting the stage for conflicts around conformity and self-definition that are likely to unfold throughout the narrative.
