| Summary | "A Pasteboard Crown: A Story of the New York Stage" by Clara Morris is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces the Lawton family as they arrive at their new home, Woodsedge, an old estate that garners mixed reactions from the locals. Central to the story are the two daughters, Sybil and Dorothy, whose aspirations and challenges unfold against the backdrop of their family's financial struggles and the theatrical world. The opening of the novel sets the stage for the family's arrival and the community's curiosity about the Lawtons, who are seen as a curious spectacle in their decrepit new surroundings. John Lawton, the father, almost oblivious to the social implications of their situation, is accompanied by his spirited daughters and wife, Letitia. As they settle in, the girls begin to confront their new reality, balancing their hopes and dreams with the socio-economic limitations they face, foreshadowing deeper developments in their personal lives as they connect with the local stage and the enigmatic Claire Morrell. The tone and representation of family dynamics and societal commentary create an engaging introduction to their journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
