Summary "Forge and Furnace: A Novel" by Florence Warden is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. This narrative centers around the lives of the Cornthwaite family, specifically focusing on Josiah Cornthwaite, his son Christian, and the relationship between Christian and the charming girl Claire Biron. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a steelworks in Sheffield, delving into themes of ambition, societal class, and familial expectations. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the bustling atmosphere of the Cornthwaite's steelworks, where Josiah Cornthwaite passionately oversees the operations while expressing concern for the future of his son, Christian, who seems disinterested in the family business. As tensions rise, the character of Bram Elshaw is introduced, a workman who admires Claire, leading to complex emotional dynamics. The chapters set the stage for a rich exploration of ambition and love, ultimately hinting at the struggles faced by those from different social standings as they navigate their intertwined lives.
