Summary

"The Socialist" by Guy Thorne is a story set in the early 1900s that follows a wealthy Duke as he navigates the complex social issues of his time. The tale opens by introducing us to the Duke of Paddington, who seems distant from the problems until a conflict with his valet, who speaks out against inequalities. The Duke's life of luxury at Oxford contrasts with the struggling working class and the rise of socialism, setting the stage for a exploration of class differences and the quest for social change.
