| Summary | "Stories of Romance" by Craik, Cunningham, Holmes, Spofford, and Wilson is a collection of romantic tales likely written in the late 19th century. The anthology features various narratives that explore the themes of love and relationships through the eyes of diverse characters, delivering insights into human emotions and connections. Among the narratives, the opening piece titled "Iris" introduces the titular character, Iris, who seems to navigate her world filled with complexity, tenderness, and a yearning for connection." The opening of "Stories of Romance" presents a vivid character study of Iris, a young girl with artistic aspirations and a sensitive spirit. We see her in a boarding house where her presence captivates the attention of the other boarders, notably a kind yet deformed gentleman and a young Marylander, each exhibiting different feelings towards her. The atmosphere is filled with tension and potential romance as Iris engages with her neighbors, displaying kindness and fascination that hint at deeper emotional currents. The narrative unfolds around Iris's relationships, her artistic pursuits, and the subtle observations of the narrator, setting the stage for a rich exploration of human connection and the complexities of love that the collection promises to delve into further.
