Summary "The Prince of the Captivity: The Epilogue to a Romance" by Sydney C. Grier is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lord Usk, a young man beset by feelings of infatuation and social anxieties, particularly concerning an American heiress, Miss Félicia Steinherz. The narrative explores themes of love, societal expectations, identity, and the cultural clash between American wealth and British nobility. At the start of the novel, Usk travels on the South Wales Express, lost in thoughts about Félicia, who has captivated him in ways he never anticipated. Flashbacks reveal his astonishment at how profound his life feels since meeting her, contrasting his previous perceived contentment. The reader is introduced to the complexities of his feelings and social standing, as Usk grapples with his family's expectations, his insecurities about wealth and status, and the potential impact of proposing to Félicia. Additional characters, such as Mr. Hicks, provide comic relief and guidance while hinting at complications that will arise from Usk's growing affection for Félicia and her father's prestigious background.
