Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Hermit Of ------ Street" by Anna Katharine Green is a novel written in the late 19th century. This crime fiction narrative revolves around love, mystery, and the exploration of moral dilemmas as it unfolds the tragic circumstances surrounding the characters. The story is brought to life through its richly developed characters and intriguing plot, set in an environment imbued with the tensions of societal norms and personal freedoms. The plot centers on Delight Hunter, a young woman who becomes entangled with Mr. Allison, the enigmatic "hermit" of the title, who harbors a dark secret related to his imprisonment of Mrs. Ransome and her blind daughter in a hidden part of the house he occupies. As Delight falls in love with Mr. Allison, she discovers the truth behind his actions—his unrepentant greed and the psychological games he plays to maintain control over his victims. Determined to free Mrs. Ransome and her daughter while navigating her own emotions and the complexities of her marriage, Delight devises a plan to reveal the hidden lives within the house and safeguard her own moral integrity. The tension builds as she hosts a party to distract Mr. Allison, preparing for the liberation of those unjustly held captive while confronting the depths of love, betrayal, and moral responsibility.
