Summary | "The Mutable Many: A Novel" by Robert Barr is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around John Sartwell, the stern manager of a factory in London, who faces mounting tensions with his workers amidst a looming strike. As the story unfolds, Sartwell's complex relationships with his superiors and his daughter, Edna, become key focal points in exploring themes of class conflict and personal ambition. The opening of the novel establishes the industrial setting and introduces the reader to Sartwell's position within the company and society. He observes a troubling sense of discontent among the workers, who are contemplating a strike to demand better conditions and wages. A young worker, Marsten, discusses the strike's inevitability with Sartwell, revealing the young man's aspirations and the tension between personal morality and collective action. As Sartwell navigates the intricacies of the workplace dynamics and his protective instincts towards Edna, the story hints at potential conflicts that will explore broader social themes, particularly the struggles faced by laborers and those in managerial positions.
