A Cathedral Courtship
Transcribed from the 1893 Gay and Bird edition by David Price
"A Cathedral Courtship" by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin is a charming novel written in the late 19th century. The book is a romantic narrative that unfolds the relationship between two main characters, Katharine Schuyler and Jack Copley, as they journey through the picturesque English cathedral towns. The story primarily explores themes of love, social conventions, and the contrasting perceptions of beauty and architecture in Victorian society. The narrative alternates between the perspectives of Katharine and Jack, providing a delightful look at their developing romance as they navigate their way through cathedrals and the complexities of their personalities. Katharine is accompanied by her overbearing Aunt Celia, while Jack, an architect, admires Katharine's beauty from a distance initially. Humorous incidents, such as Katharine's mistaken identity over her aunt’s belongings and Jack's awkward attempts to plan their encounters without alerting Aunt Celia, contribute to the lighthearted tone of the book. Their shared experiences at various cathedrals enhance their bond, reflecting Witiggin's exploration of the intersection of architecture and personal connection, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding and love between the two characters.
