| Summary | "Dorothy South: A Love Story of Virginia Just Before the War" by George Cary Eggleston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Virginia during a transformative period leading up to the Civil War, introducing readers to complex themes of love, duty, and societal expectations. The narrative revolves around the titular character, Dorothy South, a young girl navigating her emerging identity and relationships against the backdrop of her family's plantation. The opening of the novel presents a vivid landscape of south side Virginia and sets the stage for the complex dynamics that will unfold. We meet Dr. Arthur Brent, the new master of Wyanoke, who is returning to the family estate after years away. His encounter with a local young boy named Dick hints at the tensions of the era, while a meeting with Dorothy South introduces her intriguing character—a mixture of childlike innocence and developing maturity. As Arthur grapples with his responsibilities and the unwritten rules of plantation life, the stage is set for a deeper exploration of his relationship with Dorothy, who is portrayed with both grace and strength amidst the constraints imposed by society.
