Project Gutenberg 2005-04-13 Public domain in the USA. 68 MacGrath, Harold 1871 1932 The Ragged Edge Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Clare Elliott and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Ragged Edge" by Harold MacGrath is a novel written in the early 20th century. It centers around two young characters, Ruth Enschede and Howard Spurlock, whose intersecting lives reveal themes of adventure, disillusionment, and the search for identity against the backdrop of early 1900s Canton. The book explores the nature of dreams, the impact of societal expectations, and the often concealed struggles individuals face as they navigate their lives. The opening of the novel introduces us to Ruth Enschede, a fresh-faced young woman embarking on a journey through the bustling city of Canton in the spring of 1910. While in a pole-chair caravan, she observes the vibrant culture around her, drawn to both the beauty and chaos of her surroundings. At the same time, we are introduced to Howard Spurlock, a young man who bears the scars of alcoholism and a troubled past, hinting at a more complex narrative ahead. Their paths will inevitably intertwine as Ruth’s kindness and compassion compel her to care for Howard, whose struggles reveal deeper societal issues. Through Ruth’s perspective, the reader is invited to explore themes of resilience, the perils of disillusion, and the essence of human connection amidst chaos.
