Beschreibung
"Harold" is a historical novel written by Edward Bulwer Lytton that takes place in 11th century England during the reign of King Edward the Confessor. The novel follows the story of Harold Godwinson, a prominent nobleman and advisor to the king. Harold finds himself torn between his loyalty to the king and his own desires for power and wealth. He becomes embroiled in a web of political intrigue and power struggles, as various factions within the court vie for control. As Harold rises in power, he must also navigate his complicated relationships with the women in his life, including his mistress, the ambitious Edith Swan-neck, and his former love, the nun Aldyth. Throughout the novel, Lytton paints a vivid picture of life in medieval England, with all its struggles, intrigues, and betrayals. The novel also explores themes of power, loyalty, and the human desire for greatness. Ultimately, Harold's story ends in tragedy, as he meets his fate on the battlefield at the Battle of Hastings. "Harold" is a gripping tale of ambition and politics set against the backdrop of one of the most pivotal periods in English history.
