| Summary | "The Redemption of David Corson" by Charles Frederic Goss is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a tranquil valley in Ohio during the mid-19th century, focusing on David Corson, a young Quaker with mystical qualities, who grapples with profound spiritual experiences and the struggles that arise from his faith and encounters with contrasting worldviews. The opening portion of the novel introduces a picturesque setting where David Corson is immersed in the beauty of the natural world. The narrative captures a quiet moment in his life as he is interrupted by a call to dinner from a nearby farmhouse, highlighting the serene yet complex life he leads. David is depicted as a mystic who experiences vivid visions of divine communication, drawing the attention of a curious young boy, Stephen. The comfort of his pastoral existence is juxtaposed with the looming reality of temptation and external influences, foreshadowing the personal and spiritual challenges that David is destined to face. As he navigates his daily life filled with simple joys and profound encounters, the reader is drawn into the foundation of his character and the depth of his upcoming trials.
