Summary | "The Bacillus of Beauty: A Romance of To-day" by Harriet Stark is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the transformation of Helen Winship, who has recently arrived in New York City and undergone a remarkable change in appearance that captivates those around her. The narrative is primarily seen through the eyes of John Burke, her devoted admirer, who is perplexed yet enthralled by her newfound beauty. The opening of the novel introduces John Burke as he reflects on his arrival in New York and his anticipation of seeing Helen, who he fondly remembers from their shared childhood in the West. However, upon meeting her again, he is astonished to find her unrecognizable; she is now an embodiment of beauty that seems to have emerged overnight. As John navigates this emotional landscape, he experiences a rollercoaster of feelings ranging from disbelief to admiration. The chapter captures the essence of transformation, longing, and the complexities of love in a bustling urban setting. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
