"The Romance of a Poor Young Man" by Octave Feuillet, adapted by Pierrepont Edwards and Lester Wallack, is a drama written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Manuel, the Marquis de Champcey, who is reduced to poverty after the death of his father and lives a life marked by financial struggle and pride. Through a series of interactions with various characters, including Madame Vauberger and Dr. Desmarets, the drama explores themes of class disparity, personal honor, and the expectations placed upon those of noble descent. At the start of the drama, we are introduced to Manuel, who is in a dire financial situation and struggles with hunger while trying to maintain his pride and honor. Madame Vauberger, who cares for him, worries about his well-being, while Dr. Desmarets attempts to offer him a position that seems beneath his former status. As Manuel navigates his new life, he reflects on the sacrifices made for his sister’s education and the burden of his title amidst a changing social landscape. The tension between Manuel's noble heritage and his current reality creates a compelling backdrop for the unfolding drama and sets the stage for future conflicts and character developments.
