Summary: "Clark's Field" by Robert Herrick is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins with a return to the protagonist's hometown, Alton, where he reflects on the changes that have obliterated his childhood landmarks, particularly an open land known as Clark's Field. This place, significant to his youth and imagination, has been transformed into urban development, symbolizing the loss of memory and innocence. The opening portion introduces the narrator as he revisits his childhood home and laments the transformation of Clark's Field, intertwined with his memories of freedom and adventure. He describes the field's past significance, where he and his friends played without parental supervision, and contrasts it with the modern landscape of brick and mortar that has replaced it. The narrative also hints at deeper family dynamics, particularly the story of the Clark family, their struggles, and the mysterious legal entanglements surrounding the field. As the narrator's memories unfold against the backdrop of change, they set the stage for exploring themes of loss, identity, and the passage of time throughout the novel.
