St. Bernard's Priory: An Old English Tale; Being The First Literary Production Of A Young Lady by Mrs. M. Harley. In this early Gothic-tinged historical romance, noble families contend over estates at St. Bernard’s Priory during the later years of Henry II’s reign. Lord Raby’s benevolence contrasts with the usurpations of De Courcy and the Manftons, whose plots threaten the rightful heirs. A subterranean chamber, hidden identities, and a band of loyal friends drive a tale of love, jealousy, and vengeance. Edmund, the virtuous son of Manfton, allies with Lord Raby to rescue the innocent Laura and Maud from persecution, while Julia captures the favour of certain suitors. A hermit—Hubert—unfolds a long chain of revelations about Edmund’s birth, the fate of Elmira, and the means by which truth, forgiveness, and mercy can restore families. Across disguises, sieges, and shipboard journeys, the characters endure trials, choose virtue over power, and find happiness through reconciliation. The work closes with marriages, restored fortunes, and the enduring peace of St. Bernard’s Priory.
