Summary "Children of the Market Place" by Edgar Lee Masters is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows James Miles, a young man born in London at the time of the Battle of Waterloo and raised by his mother’s family after she dies during his birth. After learning of his father's death in America, James travels to the Midwest to claim his inheritance, leading to a profound exploration of identity, family dynamics, and societal issues. The opening of the novel introduces James as he reflects on his complicated heritage resulting from his mother's tragic past and his father's absence. As he reaches the age of eighteen and learns of his father’s death, he is compelled to travel to America, a journey filled with excitement and uncertainty. The early chapters capture his experiences aboard a ship approaching New York, his observations of the bustling city, and his interactions with a fellow passenger who shares insights on American society, especially regarding race and slavery. James’s internal struggle with his identity in the midst of changing societal norms and expectations sets the stage for his eventual confrontation with his father's legacy and the challenges of his new life in a burgeoning America.
