Summary "Fairfax and His Pride: A Novel" by Marie Van Vorst is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The story begins in January 1880, chronicling the experiences of Antony Fairfax, a young artist arriving in New York from New Orleans. The novel explores themes of ambition, familial relationships, and the social challenges faced by the protagonist as he seeks recognition and belonging in a new and often unfriendly city. The opening portion introduces Antony Fairfax as he grapples with the harsh winter climate of New York and reflects on his hopes for a bright future as an artist. He feels out of place as a stranger in the North while contemplating the warmth he left behind in the South. Shortly after his arrival, Antony visits his relatives, the Carews, but is met with indifference and a lack of hospitality, amplifying his sense of isolation. The narrative then shifts to the enchanting yet complicated relationship he begins to form with his young cousins, Bella and Gardiner, who initially bring him joy amidst his struggles. Their innocent interactions provide depth to the story, hinting at the significance of familial connections and the challenges of navigating adulthood and artistic aspirations in a bustling urban landscape.
