by Mary Webb
Unfinished at the time of Mary Webb's early death, Armour wherein he trusted was published posthumously. Set in medieval Shropshire, it is the story of Gilbert of Polrebec, who is torn between between his love for Nesta and a spiritual calling, and grasps at each in turn. There is less sense of the natural landscape than in Mary Webb's previous novels, and she writes in a stylised and artificial style, very unlike that of her other works.
A sample chapter of Armour wherein he trusted is available on this website.
The full text can also be read online or downloaded free of charge. It is in XHTML format, like this page.
