| Summary |
"An American Politician: A Novel" by F. Marion Crawford is a work of fiction likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative introduces us to a circle of characters in Boston society, where social status, political opinions, and personal relationships intertwine. Central figures include Mrs. Sam Wyndham, who navigates Boston's elite social scene, and John Harrington, a politically minded reformer whose speeches shake the very foundations of that society. The opening of the novel establishes a social gathering at Mrs. Wyndham's home, characterized by her conversation with various guests, including the enigmatic Mr. Vancouver and the young Sybil Brandon. As the dialogue unfolds, we see Mrs. Wyndham's relationships and opinions about politics, her friends, and her social standing come to light. The arrival of John Harrington introduces a fresh perspective on politics that challenges the status quo. Joe Thorn, the young English woman new to Boston, becomes increasingly invested in the dynamic discussions around reform and political integrity, setting the stage for an evolving narrative that explores themes of love, ambition, and societal expectations.
