Summary "Alexander's Bridge" by Willa Cather is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Professor Lucius Wilson, a philosophy professor who is visiting Boston and reflects on his life, as well as his encounters with the enigmatic Mrs. Alexander and her husband Bartley, a successful bridge engineer. The narrative hints at themes of love, ambition, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly through the lens of Wilson's fascination with the Alexanders. The opening of the novel introduces Professor Lucius Wilson as he navigates the familiar streets of Boston, filled with memories and new experiences. As he meets Mrs. Alexander, their conversation reveals a layered dynamic, exploring Wilson's admiration for her beauty and intellect alongside his reflections on Bartley's character. The text crafts an intimate picture of the interactions between these three individuals, establishing an undercurrent of longing and unfulfilled desires that suggest the potential for deeper connections and emotional conflicts throughout Wilson's visit. The reader is drawn into a world where ambition and personal relationships intertwine, setting the stage for the unfolding narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
