Summary "Eugene Field, a Study in Heredity and Contradictions — Volume 1" by Slason Thompson is a biographical work written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of Eugene Field, an American author and poet known for his light-hearted verses and children's poetry, while exploring the significant contrasts and complexities that shaped his character and career, particularly focusing on his familial background and the influence of his father, Roswell M. Field. At the start of the study, Slason Thompson provides an introduction that highlights Eugene Field's desire for a memoir that reflects his whimsical personality rather than a chronological recount of his life events. The author illustrates how Eugene, in his playful and unconventional fashion, encouraged a focus on the fantastical and humorous aspects of life, both in his personal interactions and literary creations. The opening section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Field’s family lineage, describing his upbringing in a New England Puritan household, and hinting at the contradictions within his character that emerged from his experiences and relationships, particularly with his father, a prominent lawyer.
