"A Maid in Arcady" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a picturesque setting, likely in a fictional New England town, and revolves around Ethan Parmley as the main character. The narrative introduces themes of youthful romance and a touch of mythology, particularly through the charming interactions between Ethan and a young woman he encounters at a beautiful lotus pool. The opening of the book paints a vivid scene along a serene river, where Ethan, a recent law school graduate, is captivated by the tranquility of his surroundings and a mysterious maiden. As he navigates this enchanting setting in his canoe, he discovers Clytie, a water-nymph who evokes classic mythological imagery. Their dialogue is playful and flirtatious, hinting at the budding romance as well as Ethan's inner thoughts about love and desire. The initial chapters set the stage for a leisurely summer romance filled with wit, charm, and a hint of adventure, inviting readers to delve deeper into Ethan's journey as he seeks to connect with Clytie in this idyllic setting.
