| Summary |
"The Cornhill Magazine" (vol. XLII, no. 247 new series, January 1917) by Various is a periodical publication written in the early 20th century. This magazine features a collection of articles and stories, presenting a blend of fiction, essays, art, and social commentary reflective of its time, particularly as it navigates the context of World War I. Contributors explore themes ranging from personal relationships to philosophical musings, providing readers with a glimpse into the intellectual and cultural climate during the war period. The opening portion introduces a story titled "Unconquered: An Episode of 1914" by Maud Diver, where readers meet Sir Mark Forsyth, who is deep in thought at a dinner party overlooking beautiful Highland scenery. As he steps outside, the dynamics of familial and friend relationships unfold, revealing tensions: his mother, Lady Forsyth, feels anxious about his affections towards a new acquaintance, Miss Alison. The narrative sets a foundation for conflicts arising from love, expectations, and societal pressures, showcasing a delicate dance between desire and the looming backdrop of a world at war. Through the interactions and reflections of its characters, the story hints at deeper emotional and social issues that will develop as the plot progresses.
