| Summary | "The Ancient City" by Constance Fenimore Woolson is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. Set in St. Augustine, Florida, the story revolves around a group of diverse characters who embark on a journey filled with historical insights, personal connections, and lively explorations of the city and its surroundings. Central to the narrative are Aunt Diana, her niece Iris Carew, and Niece Martha, along with several other companions who each bring their own perspectives and motivations to the journey. At the start of the novel, the ensemble of characters is introduced as they travel from New York to St. Augustine during a snowstorm. Their journey unfolds through descriptions of the ship, their interactions, and expectations for their Florida adventure. The personalities of Aunt Diana, Iris, and the other travelers are established, providing glimpses into their relationships and individual quirks. The opening scenes also detail the beauty and history of St. Augustine, including references to its significant past, local folklore, and the tension between the different social classes present in the city. Overall, the beginning sets the stage for a story steeped in charm and the exploration of the human experience against a backdrop of rich history. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
