Summary: "Through the Gates of Old Romance" by Weymer Jay Mills is a historical romance narrative written in the early 20th century. This book explores various love stories set against the backdrop of early American history, providing windows into the lives of notable figures and their romantic entanglements. The narrative starts with the romance between Betsey Shewell and the young painter Benjamin West, spun into a rich tapestry of emotions, societal expectations, and the influences of notable personalities like Benjamin Franklin. The opening of the work introduces us to a musical gathering hosted by Benjamin Franklin in 1762, where Betsey Shewell finds herself infatuated with Isaac Hunt, who is courting her niece. As Betsey wallows in her unrequited love, she is introduced to Benjamin West, a painter whose resemblance to her lost love stirs her emotions anew. The narrative unfolds as she learns about West’s journey from humble beginnings to recognition in the painting world, igniting her interest and leading her to reflect deeply on her feelings. This blend of personal and historical narrative serves to enchant readers with the lessons of love, sacrifice, and the challenges faced by those who dare to pursue happiness amidst societal norms.
