| Summary | "Derrick Vaughan, Novelist" by Edna Lyall is a fictional narrative written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Derrick Vaughan, a thoughtful and introspective young man with aspirations of becoming a novelist, navigating the trials of his personal life and artistic ambitions while dealing with the complexities of love, friendship, and familial loyalty. The opening of the novel introduces us to Sydney Wharncliffe, who intends to chronicle the life of his friend Derrick, countering the superficial notion that Derrick achieved fame effortlessly. We see Derrick as a child of great imagination and passion for storytelling, foreshadowing his development into a writer. The text reveals his close friendship with Sydney, revealing key moments from their childhood and school days, culminating in Derrick’s deep emotional struggles as he grapples with the burden of caring for his alcoholic father, Major Vaughan, and a love for a girl named Freda Merrifield. Their dynamic showcases themes of longing, the impact of family, and the pursuit of creative fulfillment amidst adversity, setting the stage for Derrick's challenges as he attempts to forge his identity and realize his dreams.
