Jeremy Poldark is the third of twelve novels in Poldark, a series of historical novels by Winston Graham. It was published in 1950.[1]
Jeremy Poldark continues the story of the Poldark marriage and family.[2] The previous novel in the series (Demelza) ended on several dark notes in January 1790. Jeremy Poldark closes in June 1791, one month after the birth of the child for whom the novel is named.[3]
The events in Jeremy Poldark are the basis for Season 2, Episodes 1-4 in the television series adaptation launched in 2015 produced by the BBC.
During the course of the novel, Ross defends himself in court, sells his interest in Wheal Leisure, enters into partnership with a smuggler, deepens his quarrel with George Warleggan, continues his admiration of Elizabeth Poldark, grows in his understanding of Demelza's virtues, and mends his estrangement with Francis Poldark. Demelza earns the respect and admiration of Ross's social and family circles. Dwight Enys meets and falls in love with the lively heiress Caroline Penvenen, whose station in life is much above his. Jud Paynter dies and is resurrected.[3][4]
