| Summary | "Theodore Savage: A Story of the Past or the Future" by Cicely Hamilton is a novel written in the early 20th century." The story centers around Theodore Savage, who evolves from a complacent civil servant to a laborer caught in the turmoil of a world devastated by war, reflecting on his past life and the circumstances that have shaped him. In this narrative, Hamilton delves into themes of societal collapse and the human condition amid conflict. "The opening of the novel introduces us to Theodore Savage, a once-comfortable civil servant now adapting to a grim new reality wrought by war." As the story unfolds, Savage reflects on his earlier life of leisure and artistic appreciation, contrasting it with his current existence marked by toil and struggle alongside rough men. His introspection is abruptly interrupted by broader societal chaos as tensions escalate in the world outside his cabin. Through these reflections and observations, we see glimpses of his personal relationships, notably with Phillida Rathbone, his love interest, and the deteriorating political landscape that threatens their delicate world. This opening sets the stage for a deep exploration of how quickly civilization can unravel and how one must confront stark new realities. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
