| Summary |
"Their Silver Wedding Journey — Volume 3" by William Dean Howells is a novel written during the late 19th century. This work continues the story of the Marches, who are on an exploration of Europe, particularly Germany, as they reflect on their long marriage and the changes over the years. The narrative delves into themes of nostalgia, cultural encounters, and self-examination as the couple experiences life in various European cities. The opening of the volume captures the Marches' arrival in Ansbach, where they engage with a young German railway architect on their journey. Their conversations reveal a mix of humor and introspection as they discuss their travel intentions amidst the backdrop of German history and architecture. The couple navigates the quaint city, exploring local customs and historical sites, while reflecting on the past rulers of Ansbach, particularly through tales of the notorious Wild Margrave and the more benign Last Margrave. This blend of historical narrative and contemporary travel experiences invites readers to ponder the intersection of personal and cultural histories as the Marches immerse themselves in their silver wedding journey.
