Summary "Lore of Proserpine" by Maurice Hewlett is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work explores themes of perception, reality, and the nature of existence through a blend of autobiographical reflection and fantastical elements. The narrative features a complex protagonist wrestling with dual aspects of his identity, engaged in a dialogue about the seen and unseen forces in the world. The opening of the novel sets a contemplative tone, beginning with a preface that addresses the nature of truth and reality, suggesting these may take forms beyond mere physical existence. The main character is introduced through an allegorical lens, likening the soul to a house with distinct tenants representing various facets of his personality. The narrative delves into his experiences of perception, particularly how ordinary sights transform when viewed through a 'special' lens, showcasing the interplay between the mundane and the extraordinary. As the story unfolds from the protagonist's thoughts and reflections, readers are invited to explore a metaphysical landscape filled with fairies and symbolic encounters, establishing a rich foundation for the journey ahead.
