Summary "The Perpetual Curate" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the quaint town of Carlingford, the story revolves around the character of Mr. Wentworth, a curate with a passion for his ministry who faces challenges both within his parish and in his personal ambitions. The novel explores themes of social duty, love, and the complexities of religious life against the backdrop of a tight-knit community. At the start of the book, we learn about Carlingford, characterized by its genteel society and the critical role of the clergy in maintaining communal order. Mr. Wentworth is highlighted as a significant figure amid the clergy, taking on responsibilities that the ineffective rector has neglected. As he engages with both the townsfolk and his own romantic interests, particularly with Lucy Wodehouse, the opening chapters set the stage for the conflicts that will arise between personal aspirations and social expectations, hinting at the broader dilemmas faced by a young clergyman in a small, insular community.
