Summary "The Birthright" by Joseph Hocking is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Jasper Pennington, whose family has been unjustly dispossessed of their ancestral home, Pennington, through a series of deceitful maneuvers led by the Tresidder family. Fueled by a desire to reclaim his birthright and the love of Naomi Penryn, Jasper's journey is fraught with conflict, personal struggles, and the burden of familial legacy. At the start of the tale, Jasper recounts the tragic history that led to his family's loss of Pennington, detailing the manipulations of his stepmother and Richard Tresidder. After the death of his father, Jasper learns of his father's dying wish to fight for their rightful claim to the estate. Throughout the opening chapters, Jasper navigates the complexities of his new life as a tenant farmer at Elmwater Barton, where he faces both social ostracism and relentless challenges posed by the Tresidders. The narrative sets the stage for Jasper's transformation from a wronged heir to a man determined to reclaim what was taken from him, including his inheritance and a budding romance with Naomi.
