Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Milly: At Love's Extremes; A Romance of the Southland" by Maurice Thompson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book is set in the picturesque Southern landscapes, exploring themes of love, class, and the contrasts between different lifestyles. The main character, Edward Moreton, is a young Englishman who has come to Alabama to oversee family business interests, and he soon becomes entangled in the lives of the local inhabitants, particularly a young girl named Milly White. The opening of the narrative presents Moreton as he embarks on a hunting expedition in the mountains, revealing the beauty of the Southern scenery and his initial encounter with the rugged charm of the region. As a rainstorm disrupts his outing, he finds refuge in a mountain cabin, where he meets the White family—Milly, her father, and her mother. The atmosphere is filled with a blend of hospitality and naïveté that captivates Moreton, especially as he catches a glimpse of Milly, whose innocence and growing artistic spirit intrigue him. The chapter introduces the emotional stakes as Moreton grapples with his past, hinted connections to Milly, and the complicated dynamics of their worlds.
