Summary "Samantha at the World's Fair" by Marietta Holley is a satirical novel written in the late 19th century. This work follows Samantha Allen, a witty and intelligent woman, as she prepares to attend the World's Fair in Chicago alongside her husband Josiah. The narrative explores themes of progress, societal issues, and the quirks of family relations, all delivered with Holley's characteristic humor and commentary on contemporary social issues. At the start of the story, Samantha reflects on her admiration for Christopher Columbus and his discoveries, which she wishes to honor through her attendance at the fair. In a twist of fate, she and her husband meet a distant relative, Christopher Columbus Allen, who arrives at their home just as they are making preparations for their trip to the World's Fair. This coincidence serves as a humorous thread that intertwines with Samantha's contemplations about history, family, and the expectations of society. The opening sets the tone for a blend of personal ambition and social commentary, suggesting that readers can expect a thoughtful yet entertaining exploration of these themes throughout the book.
