| Summary | "Buell Hampton" by Willis George Emerson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the American Southwest and revolves around themes of ambition, social status, and romantic entanglements, primarily through the experiences of young Ethel Horton and the significant figures surrounding her, including her mother, Mrs. J. Bruce-Horton, and the cattle king John Horton. The opening portion introduces Ethel Horton, an American girl returning from an English education, and her mother, who longs for her daughter to marry into titled society. The narrative begins with a lively tennis match that reveals Ethel's spirited nature, while her mother engages in conversation with a friend, setting the stage for the societal aspirations that drive their lives. Mere moments later, Ethel’s interactions, as well as her delight in returning home, quickly set up the implications of family expectations and societal pressures. As the story unfolds, it hints at the growing tensions between the well-to-do and the farmers in their community, particularly with the cattle baron Horton at the center of the local landscape. This context establishes a rich setting filled with potential conflicts based on class, ambition, and the characters' personal journeys. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
