Poldark (novels)

## Template:Name

**Poldark** is a collection of twelve historical novels wrote by Winston Graham from 1945 to 1953 and then continued again from 1973 to 2002.

Each novel had the name of "A Novel of Cornwall".

## Production

Graham wrote and published the first four novels between 1945 and 1953. Graham himself moved to Cornwall, where the novels are set, when he was 17 and lived there for 40 years.

 Graham stated that the character of Ross was, in part, based upon a fighter pilot he met on a train during World War II. His wife, Jean, helped him come up with ideas and the character of Demelza Poldark was based on her. Their daughter later stated that Graham "was the author but my mother helped with the details because she was very observant. She saw everything and remembered it all". Following a hiatus, Graham wrote the final novels between 1973 and 2002.

## Plot

Ross Poldark was an officer in the British Army who fought in the American War of Independence. He was presumed dead for three years back home in Cornwall and when he finally gets home, it had forever changed. His fiancé, Elizabeth Chynoweth was now engaged to his cousin, Francis Poldark and his father had died and left their estate in ruins. He goes in search of a new fortune by reopening one of the Poldark family's derelict mines.

He eventually married a servant, Demelza Carne but their marriage was turbulent. He faces trouble in the form of arch-rival, George Warleggan, a ruthless banker and upstart in aristocracy who gets increasingly powerful and cunning.

## Reception

The novels were critically acclaimed, and have become beloved by many. Graham recognised that "that although literary fiction may be complex, great popular novels have the underlying clarity of a fairytale."

## Behind the scenes

* Many productions have been made from the novels, including two BBC TV shows in 1975 and 2015.
* The Poldark Mine in Helston Cornwall was renamed following the success of the novels.
* Graham originally named the main family Polgreen in honour of a friend, but he believed that it didn't sound strong enough so he invented the name Poldark.
* While writing the novels, Graham researched the history of the time they were set in and spent many hours looking into old archives.

Drake Carne

**Drake Carne**was one of the younger brothers of Demelza Poldark who moved to Cornwall in 1794.

## Biography

### Early life

Drake was the younger brother of Demelza Carne and Sam Carne. Their father, Tom, was once a drunk who used to hit his sister. Demelza would later leave home, while Drake stayed with Tom.

### Move to Nampara

Following the death of their father, with whom Drake stayed with until he passed away, he moved to Nampara to stay with Demelza and her family, Ross and Jeremy Poldark.

He met Morwenna Chynoweth in Trenwith, the governess of Geoffrey Charles Poldark. They fell in love and he brought her flowers. However, he was later asked by Ross to favour him by staying away from Trenwith since his enemy, George Warleggan, moved there.

Morwenna would later be asked to wed a man she did not love, and when Drake found out he begged her to elope with him. They secretly met and kissed, but Demelza told Morwenna not to break Drake's heart, and they should not marry because she was from high society and not the right fit with Drake's place in society.

She later was forced to marry, leaving Drake heartbroken after she saved his life by agreeing to marry Osborne Whitworth in exchange for George to drop charges against Drake.

Drake tried to get on with his life as best as he could, and to give him something to live for he was set up as a blacksmith by Ross, his brother-in-law.

His love for Morwenna remained very strong and he had eyes for no other woman, but because she was out of reach for him, his sister Demelza tried to match him with Rosina Hoblyn. He grew to like her and even proposed to her, mainly because he felt pressured, but he warned her that he would always love Morwenna. Rosina accepted anyway.

On their wedding day, Morwenna unexpectedly became a widow and Drake felt he could not go on with the wedding. He told Rosina so, who took it bravely, and went to Morwenna, but she rejected him because she was traumatised. Her rejection shocked him and he was crushed. Eventually she came to see him and explained what had happened to her. She could not be a wife to him in every way, having come to detest physical contact. He was very considerate and understanding and proposed a marriage in name only. Morwenna accepted and they were married in 1799.

Gradually, through his patience and understanding, Morwenna came to heal and trust him. His love for her grew even stronger and his greatest desire was for them to have a child of their own. Eventually they became intimate and did welcome their own child, a daughter named Loveday. They were both very happy.

## Behind the scenes

* Drake Carne, played by Harry Richardson, made his first appearance in the third series of Poldark.

## Biography

### Early life

Joan Le Grice was born in 1730. She later married Jonathan Chynoweth of Cusgarne and had a daughter, Elizabeth Chynoweth in 1764.

### Elizabeth's marriage

By March 1783, the Chynoweth family had become impoverished. Joan wanted her daughter to marry into the Poldark family of Trenwith to elevate their family back into high society. She eventually persuaded Elizabeth to get engaged to Francis Poldark.

Joan was very proud of her daughter's engagement to Francis. She attended a celebratory dinner at Trenwith. Elizabeth's former love, Ross Poldark returned from the Revolutionary War that evening even though they thought he was dead. He heard that Francis was engaged and when he asked to who, Joan gladly told him about Elizabeth.

Joan later caught Elizabeth sneaking out to speak to Ross. She told Joan that she wanted to speak to him and work out what to do about her engagement. Joan was upset because Elizabeth had agreed to marry Francis, who loved her and was very wealthy. She told Elizabeth marrying Ross would bring her poverty and uncertainty. Elizabeth was unconcerned about that but Joan pointed out if Ross loved her, he would have found her and fought for her by now.

Joan was successful in persuading Elizabeth to forget Ross and stay true to her promise to Francis. She was present when her daugher married Francis, and happy at the birth of her grandson, Geoffrey Charles, in 1784.

In around 1793, she had a stroke which left her in need of support. Her daughter's husband had since died and left her in debt. Elizabeth struggled to pay for her care. She received financial help from George Warleggan, who she later married.

## Biography

### Birth

Clowance was the third child and second daughter of Ross and Demelza Poldark. She was born at Nampara in 1794. Her elder sister, Julia Poldark, died before Clowance was born, and she had an elder brother, Jeremy Poldark.

Her mother had gone into labour suddenly and gave birth in no time, to the surprise of Ross, who came home to find Demelza in bed. Demelza had hidden Clowance under a sheet, as Ross potted around without knowing. When Ross asked Demelza whether she needed anything, Demelza told him that he could say hello to his daughter. Ross was delighted, and held and kissed Clowance. They later had a christening for her; attended by her uncles Sam and Drake, and Geoffrey Charles.

She and her illegitimate half-brother, Valentine Warleggan were born in the same year, but she was born later than he was.

### Early life

From 1794 to 1799, Clowance was usually found accompanying her parents and Jeremy, and they would walk down to the beach. Her father, Ross would go to London often and she had once asked how London was.

In 1800, her parents took her and Jeremy for a walk to the beach and returned home to find Geoffrey Charles at Nampara. She and Jeremy were delighted and greeted him. Days later, Demelza woke her and Jeremy up when someone set fire to the house, and guided them to safety. She later took Clowance and Jeremy to London where Ross was staying.

Clowance and Jeremy looked out of their carriage near their lodging in London and were impressed by the soldiers walking by. She would be introduced to Ned and Kitty Despard during their stay. She later laughed at Ned who had taken her toy.

She and the family later headed back to Cornwall. She joined Demelza, Jeremy, Prudie and Kitty on a walk. They saw George Warleggan's sign warning trespassers away from Trenwith, and she was very curious about why they couldn't go there. She and Jeremy later went to Wheal Grace and asked Demelza why Tommy couldn't read.

Clowance was introduced to Valentine at a celebration for Ross and Ned's rescue at Wheal Plenty and was told he was a new friend.

Creation:Original/Anabell Luthen

**Name:** Anabell Luthen

**Age:** 19

**Appearance:**

**Personality:** Anabell is a quiet woman of few words. She loves being around people, mainly kids, but she won't lead the pack, so to speak.

Vampires

Vampires

Vampires, also known as the Children of the Night, are a species of Downworlders. Along with werewolves, vampires are humans infected with a demon disease. However, unlike the former, vampires are considered "undead"; that is, their bodies are no longer alive in the sense that living humans' are. Their undeparted human souls reside within their own animated corpses, kept intact and animated by the demon disease and energy.

Lead by:Grey Cherry
Lead by: Skylar Rupert
Members:

## Powers

**Fascination:** Also known as *encanto,* vampires have the ability to mesmerize and essentially control their prey - mostly mundanes. This skill is improved and perfected over time and practice.

**Superhuman physiology:** Vampires possess superhuman strength, speed and grace, ironic to their pale and thin appearance. With demon energy within them, their senses' scales are heightened, like the ability to see in clear darkness, smell a few drops of blood a few yards away, and hear whispers from some distance away with perfect clarity.

**Accelerated healing:** Vampires heal faster than humans due to their demonic disease.

**Demon energy:** Vampires are capable of imbuing demon energy into inanimate objects in order for them to work. This may be a helpful ability, yet this is clearly forbidden by the Accords.

**Shape-shifting:** Vampires have the ability to shift their appearances into bats, rats, and dust, among others, maintaining their intelligence in either form.

**Immortality:** Vampires are immortal due to only having their body reanimated by the demon energy within them. But this does not mean that they are invincible, rather, they are prone to death by sunlight and fire, among others.

Feeling he has limited time left to enjoy life, he pursues her even though she's married. Demelza at the time was attempting to move on from Ross's own infidelity and was very drawn to Hugh.

Hugh made a romantic appeal to Demelza at the beach, telling her in six months he would be living in darkness and he wanted to know what it meant to love and be loved. Demelza was very taken by the proposal, and she slept with him. Demelza wanted to keep the truth from Ross, but being in love with her, Hugh offered her the chance to run away with him. Demelza denied the offer, leaving him heartbroken.

### Death

Lord Falmouth, Hugh's uncle had an ambition for Hugh to continue on a path towards running for parliament. Many months later, Hugh sent a poem to Demelza declaring he loved her, but she hid the poem from Ross. Unfortunately, Ross knew of the betrayal and became paranoid about Hugh and Demelza's connection.

But Hugh's health had continued to deteriorate and he began suffering from migraines. An attempt was made to save him with the means of leeches, but it never worked. On Hugh's death bed, Demelza spoke with him one final time, at the end of which Hugh passed away.

Madison Ravenstorm

* **Born:** March 1, 1990s
* **Age:** 25
* **Species:** Nephilim
* **Residence:** London Institute
* **Occupation:** Head of the London Institute
* **Family:** Jared and Amelia Ravenstorm

Madison is a smart, caring person. She has a kind heart and prefers to settle disputes by talking, not by violence. She believes that Downworlders have the possibility to be equal to Nephilim, as she knows that not all Downworlders are good and kind. To her own people she seems soft, but she thinks with a level head and can think through problems, and that's all that matters to Idris.

Madison was born and raised in a small town outside of London. Her father was born a Nephilim, but her mother was born a Mundane, and chose to go through Ascension. The council approved this because she quickly learned the ways of the Nephilim, and they were surprised and pleased that she would be joining them. She drank from the cup, said the oath, and was made a member of the Nephilim.
When Madison was born, her parents moved from Idris to just outside of London so they could work at and for the London Institute. Growing up, Madison learned the ways of the Nephilim, and trained hard. She was taught by her mother that all lives are precious if born on the earth, or born in heaven. Downworlders and Mundanes were to be respected, and demons were to be killed. Resort to violence as a last resort.

**Nephilim Physiology:** Shadowhunters possess a variety of enhanced physical and mental abilities granted to them by the blood of the Angel Raziel flowing in their veins and also by the angelic Marks of the Gray Book. They also have the power to perform tasks unique to their species, such as the ability to use and call on the power of the angels for their seraph blades. This includes enhanced strength, agility, coordination, and stamina, which only improves over time and practice.
London Institute/Greenhouse

*On the top of the Institute, led by a spiral staircase, the house of glass shines under the sun's rays and the moon's light. It contains dozens of plant varieties that can be used for either medical or adornment - some of them are found only in Idris. There is a little room with a set of couches and tables good for an outdoor-like picnic for the Shadowhunters. A grill is also stationed nearby, if ever anyone wants to have some grilled meat.*
How about a little relaxation? Other than the library and your private room, this is a place that gives off nature's calm - a good thing whenever you're tired, or you just want to ponder on things. You can also have a little grilling party with your fellow Institute wards. A barbecue, for once in a while, is a must.

New York/The Empire State Building

You'd probably know about this 102-story building. 'Course, because King Kong climbed it. Its distinctive Art Deco design is surely an iconic thing. The building has also been named as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. FYI, it derived it's name from one of New York City's nicknames, Empire State.
It had been the world's tallest building for 40 years until the former World Trade Center's North Tower was built. It is also one of America's favourite architecture. Go up 'til the 102nd floor, where there will be a staircase ascending to the 103th floor, an acess to the spire of the famous skyscraper. You'd also want to watch it light up while the sun goes down and skies go dark. Not just that, you would surely like to try viewing the Midtown skyline at night in the building observatory deck. It's a wonderful sight!
London Institute/Library

*Found within the glamorous halls of the Institute, the library stands tall and quaint. Its huge shelves holds lots of books that has been stored and kept by the past Shadowhunter wards, may it be from wonderful classical mundane books to the enchanting volumes of the Shadow world's magic. Glass windows let in light that gives a warm and homey feeling to the place. There are carved statues of angels on the walls, watching over the treasures the past Shadowhunters have kept. There are long tables and classy chairs on the other side on the shelves for you to sit on and read.*
A good day, Shadowhunters! The library is all about giving you peace and calmness while you read and study all the treasures of words it holds. Relax for a while; Shadowhunter jobs are indeed tiring! The timeless, classic novels are going to soothe your mind.

London Institute/Infirmary

*On the second floor of the huge Institute, there lies a door that leads to the room that handles the sick and weak. The infirmary contains dozens of beds for the patients, with little windows that allow the warm light in. It may be like a clinic's, but unlike it, too, it has dimly-lit lights that endues a warm and homey feeling. A tall shelf of books is one side holding different books to give entertainment to current patients. It is created in such a way that the Shadowhunters will feel safe and sound.*
Feeling sick? The Infirmary is always there for you anytime. Shadowhunters tend to get hurt a lot, that even the *iratze* runes can't erase all the pain. But don't worry, you get to be treated here nicely and sooner you'd be able to get on your feet again and fight. What's not good about resting for once in a while?

Captain Henshawe

Captain Henshawe was a friend of Ross and shareholder in Wheal Leisure. He didn't care that Ross had married Demelza and wished the a happy life. He was loyal and always supported Ross. He helped Ross run Wheal Grace when he reopened it and was there through the failure and progress. He agreed to go on a rescue mission with Ross to save Dwight Enys where he died.
New York/Times Square

With all its billboard and commercial adornment, Times Square is sometimes referred to as the Crossroads of the World and the "heart of the world." And don't just stare at the lights. Visit the stores and buildings there! If you chocolates and candies, go to M&M's World. There is really one. If you're hungry, there's a lot of restaurants to choose, like Planet Hollywood. If you want to go shopping, there is Forever 21, or even a Disney store, if you're in the mood.
This place is really bright and loud, so there is not much danger if you keep yourself within the crowds. Still, be alert for anything. Even crowds can be used as a trap!
New York Institute/Library

*Located in the tower of the institute, the circular library sits in two stories. The bottom story contains books, ranging from mundane stories to books on demons and runes. On the floor is a tiles picture of the angel Raziel rising out of the lake, with the mortal cup, and the sword. In the middle of the room is an old desk, belonging to an old teacher. Scattered around the room are chairs for you to sit in and read. On the second story, it holds treasures from previous Shadowhunters; the faerie rings, a crystal bird, a large crown, and the clockwork angel.*
Welcome Shadowhunters! Come in, come in! This is where you can finally do your lessons in peace, or relax with a nice book after a long day of hunting! (I recommend *Treasure Island*!)

Creation:Original/Lily Fallowen

**Name:** Lily Fallowen

**Species:** Werewolf

**Age:** 25

**Appearance:** *(See Picture)*

**Personality:** Lily is kind hearted and quirky. She's the first one there to help anyone, no matter if they were Downworlder, Shadowhunter, or mundane. She can be stubborn when it comes to helping, even if it's to a perfect stranger. A natural born leader, Lily will do whatever it takes to save someone, no matter the opinions of others. Which sometimes can lead to trouble.

**City:** New York

**History:** Lily grew up in a beautiful home on the suburbs of Rochester. Her parents weren't wealthy, but they weren't poor. They were comfortable. She had an older brother, and two younger sisters. They kept the house noisy, and lively. Lily and her siblings were always causing trouble, but their parents loved them dearly.

As she grew up, her parents started fighting a lot. Her father then started drinking, which led to her mother leaving with each of the kids. They moved to a two bedroom apartment, still in Rochester, and lived in, so to speak, the ghetto. They went from nice things, to nasty smelling things. When her brother and Lily were old enough, they got jobs, helping their mother out. (Her mother always stayed kind, and never bad talked her father. This is where she learned to be nice to anyone, and everyone.)

One night, Lily was out late at night. She was working overtime at a Denny's, and had gotten off super late due to a customer. (He had taken his lovely time eating his meal, and drinking his coffee. But Lily didn't mind. In fact they had a nice conversation about the stars.) She used the usual alleyway to make her route shorter to her home. (They didn't have enough money for a car.) When this big, rather wolfish looking dog emerged from the shadows. It bit her before she even had the time to scream.

After running home, and getting it bandaged up, her mother called animal control. She never found out what happened to the wolf. (Later it would be killed by some Shadowhunter since it went rogue.) The next month, while she was home alone (her mother was away on a business tip, her older brother had left home, and her two sisters were at a sleepover), she blacked out. The next morning she woke up in a strange house, with a few scratches on her arm, and face. It was the Praetor Lupus.

When they had told her she was bitten by a werewolf, she was in disbelief. Such things could not be real. But when they explained that she was found, chasing after a pack of kittens, trying to clean them, she believed them. They took her in, and she learned how to control herself, refusing to join a pack.

**Weapons:** Lily favors her brute strength, but will use a bow and arrows.

New York Institute/Sanctuary

*Built in the early days of the Nephilim, a Sanctuary still stands after long times. It was erected with thick stones and sturdy columns, also designed to protect the Downworlders visiting or kept in there who cannot step on hallowed ground. Around the building, trees and vines with thick leaves cover it, crawling on its roof like a shade.*
Denizens of the Downworld cannot step on the blessed grounds of the Institute. This is the main reason why Sanctuaries are built - for Downworlders and Shadowhunters to gain access to the Institute without getting harmed by the power it keeps. But since the creation of Projecting, Sanctuaries aren't used that much. Yet there are some who can't use such creation, to whom Sanctuaries are a big help.
