| Summary | "Eden: An Episode" by Edgar Saltus is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Eden Menemon, a young woman grappling with societal expectations and her own tumultuous emotions as she navigates her engagement to John Usselex, a man shrouded in rumors and intrigue. The intricate dynamics between love, trust, identity, and the societal pressures of the time set the stage for a complex exploration of character relationships in both romantic and familial spheres. The opening of the narrative introduces key characters, primarily focusing on Eden Menemon and her fiancé, John Usselex. As her engagement becomes public, speculation about Usselex's past begins to circulate, mirroring the uncertainties in Eden's own mind regarding love and commitment. The narration elaborates on Eden's upbringing, showcasing her beauty and intellect while hinting at her inner struggles. After an experience of emotional disillusionment with her previous love, Dugald Maule, she encounters Usselex, who piques her curiosity despite her initial indifference.
