| Summary | "Kent Knowles: Quahaug" by Joseph Crosby Lincoln is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the life and reflections of Hosea Kent Knowles, a modest author living in the coastal town of Bayport, Massachusetts, as he grapples with his feelings of stagnation and lack of inspiration in his writing career. He finds himself wrestling with the weight of expectations, both external and self-imposed, while contemplating profound life changes. The opening of the novel introduces Kent Knowles, who reflects on his struggles as a writer, comparing his new project to his earlier work and revealing his frustrations with creating engaging stories. He interacts with his friend Jim Campbell, who encourages him to break free from his comfortable yet stifling routine and embark on a journey of exploration, whether through travel or professional reinvention. The narrative also sets the stage for his relationship with Hephzibah, who has served as a motherly figure in his life and shares dreams of travel. Kent's struggles with his identity as a writer and the relationships that shape him take center stage, establishing a tone of introspection and a yearning for renewal.
