Summary "A Cathedral Singer" by James Lane Allen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy, Ashby Truesdale, and his mother, Rachel, who struggles with poverty while nurturing her son's musical talent. Their lives take a transformative turn when Ashby is run over in the street, leading Rachel to seek help in coping with their tragic circumstances. The opening of the novel sets the scene in New York City, highlighting the contrasts between the architectural grandeur of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and the struggles of the characters. The narrative introduces Rachel as a model at an art school, outlining her determination to gather funds for her son's education. It also introduces Ashby, a spirited child who sells newspapers and possesses a remarkable singing voice, hinting at his potential future in music. The masterful teacher at the art school encourages his students to capture the emotional essence of Rachel's character, whom they are drawn to with respect and admiration. Through vivid descriptions and poignant reflections, the opening establishes a deep connection to themes of motherhood, sacrifice, and the aspirations of the underprivileged against the backdrop of urban life.
