It’s a period of massive change happening in Cornwall- the mining industry (as it was) is dying, helped along by unscrupulous business practices, and the people who are the first victims are, as always, the working poor. The books all touch on class differences, romance, mine procedures and politics, and a whole metric buttload of angst.
His father is dead, his intended is days away from marrying his cousin, his estate is essentially in ruins, and he doesn’t have much in the way of prospects.
If you didn’t follow the TV series ( and I loved everything about it so you should watch it), the series is set in Cornwall, starting in 1783, when Ross Poldark comes home to Cornwall from the Revolutionary War to find his life a complete disaster. We reviewed the tv series as it aired in the US, and PBS was kind enough to send me the first two books in the series, which is what the first season of the TV show was adapted from. OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH I LITERALLY CANNOT EVEN.
