Summary "The Jessamy Bride" by Frank Frankfort Moore is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the lively social circles of the 18th century, where it features prominent historical figures such as Dr. Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, and Edmund Burke engaged in spirited conversations. The plot revolves around themes of friendship, artistic debates, and the intricacies of love, notably distinguishing the character of Mary Horneck, referred to as the "Jessamy Bride," who seems to hold deep affection for Goldsmith. The opening of the novel introduces a dinner scene at the Crown and Anchor tavern, highlighting the dynamic interplay among famous literary and theatrical figures of the time. The conversation sways between playful jests and serious contemplation regarding the legitimacy of acting as an art form. Amidst this lively banter, the tension of social status and artistic merit is palpable, setting the stage for conflicts that intertwine humor and drama. As the gathering is interrupted by the arrival of Goldsmith's cousin, the Dean, awkward revelations and familial connections further complicate the narrative, foreshadowing potential intersecting paths of love and misunderstanding that are to unfold throughout the story.
