Summary "The Story of Kennett" by Bayard Taylor is a novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a rural community in Pennsylvania, capturing the everyday life and characters within this close-knit village. The plot centers on Gilbert Potter, a young man navigating the complexities of rural society, as well as his relationships with other residents, including the spirited Martha Deane and the enigmatic stranger named Fortune. At the start of the novel, the scene is set on a March day in 1796, where a gathering of local hunters is underway at the Barton farmhouse, signaling an upcoming fox hunt. Characters like Mr. Alfred Barton, the host with mixed intentions, and Gilbert Potter, eager for participation, introduce the social dynamics of the community. The atmosphere is lively, filled with camaraderie and competition as the potential for adventure amalgamates with local traditions. As the hunters prepare for the chase, the foundational tones of class, rivalry, and the nuances of personality emerge, establishing the complex interplay of relationships that will unfold as the story progresses.
