Malbone: An Oldport Romance is a novel written by Thomas Wentworth Higginson. The story is set in the picturesque coastal town of Newport, Rhode Island, in the mid-19th century. The novel follows the life of Malbone, a young artist who is deeply in love with his cousin, Edith. However, Edith is engaged to another man, and Malbone must navigate the complexities of their relationship while also dealing with his own personal struggles. Along the way, Malbone meets a cast of colorful characters, including a wealthy widow and her daughter, a young poet, and a mysterious stranger. Through his interactions with these characters, Malbone learns important lessons about love, life, and the human condition. The novel is a beautifully written exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of following one's heart in a society that values convention over passion.PHILIP MALBONE had that perfectly sunny temperament which is peculiarly captivating among Americans, because it is so rare. He liked everybody and everybody liked him; he had a thousand ways of affording pleasure, and he received it in the giving. He had a personal beauty, which, strange to say, was recognized by both sexes, --for handsome men must often consent to be mildly hated by their own. He had travelled much, and had mingled in very varied society; he had a moderate fortune, no vices, no ambition, and no capacity of ennui.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
