| Summary | "Dr. Sevier" by George Washington Cable is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces Dr. Sevier, a complex and principled physician in New Orleans, who grapples with the moral and social issues of wealth and poverty. As he navigates his professional duties, he also faces personal challenges and connections with a young couple, the Richlings, who are seeking to establish their lives amidst the struggles and vulnerabilities of their circumstances. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Dr. Sevier, whose office is located on Carondelet street in New Orleans in the year 1856, a time when the city is thriving economically yet plagued by social disparities. The narrative depicts the daily bustle of the city as Dr. Sevier reflects on his disdain for the relentless pursuit of wealth that surrounds him, while also portraying his dedication to helping the sick—especially the marginalized. The introduction of Mr. Richling, a young man seeking a physician for his ill wife, sets into motion a series of events that intertwines the lives of these characters, hinting at emotional depth and the themes of love, sacrifice, and moral responsibility that are likely to unfold throughout the story.
