| Summary | "The Wisdom of Fools" by Margaret Wade Campbell Deland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the engaged couple, Amy Townsend and Reverend William West, as they navigate societal expectations and personal dilemmas intertwined with their relationship, addressing themes of love, honesty, and moral integrity. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Amy and William in a moment of relaxed intimacy under an oak tree, where their engagement is the topic of conversation. The light-hearted moment soon reveals deeper complexities as they discuss societal judgments regarding their union, particularly William's role as a clergyman and Amy's past. The dialogue shifts between playful banter and serious topics, highlighting William's internal struggles with his past mistakes and the weight of secrets that might affect their future together. As they prepare for their upcoming marriage, contrasting perspectives on honesty emerge, foreshadowing potential conflict as William wrestles with whether to disclose his youthful transgression of forgery, which may impact their relationship profoundly.
