Author Bellamy, Edward, 1850-1898
Title Dr. Heidenhoff's Process
Credits E-text prepared by Malcolm Farmer
Summary "Dr. Heidenhoff's Process" by Edward Bellamy is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative begins in a rural setting during a prayer meeting in the village of Newville, where themes of morality, redemption, and personal struggle are introduced through the character George Bayley. Bayley, having faced disgrace from a past theft, grapples with the concepts of sin and forgiveness, which sets the stage for deeper discussions about human nature and societal expectations. The opening portion paints a vivid picture of a typical prayer meeting, marked by a sense of routine and ritual. The atmosphere is interrupted when George Bayley rises to speak, sharing his profound sense of shame and disillusionment with the idea of salvation. His candid expression of inner turmoil captivates the attention of the attendees, highlighting their reactions intertwined with pity and confusion. Among the other characters, Henry Burr and Madeline Brand are introduced as a budding romantic pair, whose relationship is complicated by the societal dynamics influenced by George's tragic narrative. As George's plight unfolds, it raises questions about the nature of self-worth and the human experience, laying the groundwork for a complex exploration of individual choices amidst communal judgment.
