Cambridge Neighbors is a novel written by William Dean Howells. The story is set in the late 19th century in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a small town that is home to a diverse group of people. The novel follows the lives of several families and individuals who live in the same neighborhood, and explores their relationships, struggles, and conflicts. The main character of the novel is Bartley Hubbard, a journalist who moves to Cambridge with his wife Marcia. Bartley is ambitious and driven, but also arrogant and selfish. Marcia is a kind and gentle woman who tries to make friends with their neighbors, but struggles to fit in. Other characters in the novel include the Reverend Sewell, a minister who is struggling with his faith; Mrs. Ellison, a wealthy widow who is trying to find a new purpose in life; and Mr. and Mrs. Corey, a couple who are struggling with their marriage. Throughout the novel, the characters interact with each other and face various challenges, including financial difficulties, family problems, and romantic entanglements. The novel also explores themes such as social class, morality, and the nature of friendship. Overall, Cambridge Neighbors is a thoughtful and insightful novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people in a small New England town.It was some years before the Boyesen summer, which was the fourth or fifth of our life in Cambridge, that I made the acquaintance of a man, very much my senior, who remains one of the vividest personalities in my recollection. I speak of him in this order perhaps because of an obscure association with Boyesen through their religious faith, which was also mine. But Henry James was incommensurably more Swedenborgian than either of us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
