Summary: "The Ancient Law" by Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Daniel Ordway, a man recently released from prison, as he navigates his newfound freedom and struggles to reintegrate into society while coping with the remnants of his past. Themes of redemption and the pursuit of a new life amid personal and societal challenges are likely explored throughout the narrative. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Daniel Ordway as he savors the taste of freedom after five years in prison. His initial journey takes him along a desolate Virginia road to the small town of Tappahannock, where he hopes to find work and begin anew. As he reflects on his past—a life of ambition that ended in disgrace—he encounters the realities of poverty and the hardships of those around him, including a kind African American woman who shares her meager food with him. Despite the bleakness of the landscape and his current situation, Ordway is filled with a newfound desire for life, setting the stage for his quest for redemption in this new chapter of his existence.
