Summary "Bressant: A Novel" by Julian Hawthorne is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The narrative primarily revolves around the characters of Professor Valeyon, his daughters Cornelia and Sophie, and a newcomer named Bressant. The story explores themes of home, familial relationships, and the longing for change, along with the complexities of human emotion and connection. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Professor Valeyon, an elderly man who enjoys a quiet life filled with contemplation in his garden. On a warm June afternoon, he reflects on the growth of his daughters and the passage of time since his wife's death. His peaceful routine is interrupted by the arrival of a letter from a distant relative inviting Cornelia and Sophie to New York, prompting the professor to reconsider their sheltered lives. The opening chapters establish the dynamic between the characters and hint at potential upheavals, as Cornelia's excitement about the future meets Sophie’s delicate condition and the complex emotions surrounding their father’s protective instincts, setting the stage for further developments involving Bressant's entry into their lives.
