Summary "The Strollers" by Frederic Stewart Isham is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins in a misty valley where an inn, aptly named the Travelers' Friend, serves as a backdrop for the interactions between various characters, including a young soldier named Saint-Prosper and a band of itinerant actors. Central to the plot are themes of ambition, the complexities of social classes, and the fate of entertainers during times of societal transition. The opening of the book introduces readers to the shabby inn, where a weary teamster arrives, setting the mood of a rustic, intimate setting. Saint-Prosper, the protagonist, is introduced as a brooding figure, grappling with his past as he meets a troupe of traveling performers arriving at the inn. The chapter unfolds with a series of amusing encounters as the actors, led by their enthusiastic manager, Barnes, try to impress both patrons and themselves with their theatrical aspirations despite the backdrop of a society resistant to change. The dialogues are rich with humor and social commentary, hinting at the tensions faced by both the soldiers and the performers of the era, thereby establishing a multi-layered narrative that intertwines personal stories with broader societal themes.
