| Summary |
"The Cornhill Magazine (vol. XLI, no. 242 new series, August 1916)" by Various is a literary periodical published in the early 20th century. This issue likely contains a range of essays and stories reflecting the social and cultural context of World War I, which was a prominent concern during its publishing period. The magazine features varied content, including literary works, historical narratives, and commentary on contemporary events. The opening of this volume introduces a dramatic scene involving a fire at a College, focusing on a character who displays both urgency and heroism. The narrative centers on the chaos unfolding due to the fire, highlighting the risks faced by those inside, particularly a young girl named Alice Dynevor, who is trapped. The protagonist acts swiftly, battling through smoke and flames with a courage that transforms him from a mere scholar into a man of action, embodying themes of bravery and self-sacrifice against the backdrop of a stark crisis. This gripping introduction sets the stage for deeper explorations of human character and societal issues within the rest of the magazine. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
