Ross Poldark returns to Cornwall after fighting in the American Revolutionary War and finds that his old life has moved on without him. His father is dead, Nampara is neglected, Elizabeth Chynoweth is promised to his cousin Francis, and the local mining economy offers more risk than security.
The novel begins the Poldark story by setting personal loss against late Georgian Cornwall. Ross’s attempt to rebuild his mine and household links gentry politics, class tension, coastal poverty and the aftermath of Britain’s defeat in America, while Demelza’s arrival brings the social world of miners and servants directly into the family saga.
