Old Familiar Faces is a novel written by Theodore Watts-Dunton and was first published in 1916. The story is set in the Victorian era and revolves around a group of artists, writers, and intellectuals who are struggling with their personal lives and artistic careers. The central character of the novel is a young artist named Walter Heriot, who is deeply in love with a beautiful and talented actress named Rosamund Everard. However, Rosamund is already engaged to another man, and Walter's unrequited love for her leads him to a downward spiral of depression and despair.As the story progresses, the reader is introduced to a cast of characters who are all struggling with their own personal demons. There is the brilliant but troubled poet, Gabriel Nash, who is haunted by his past and unable to find inspiration for his writing. There is also the wealthy and influential art critic, Horace Trevelyan, who is torn between his love for his wife and his desire for a young and beautiful model.Throughout the novel, Watts-Dunton explores themes of love, jealousy, ambition, and the struggle for artistic expression. He also provides a vivid portrayal of the Victorian era, with its social conventions, artistic movements, and intellectual debates. Old Familiar Faces is a complex and nuanced work of fiction that offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of artists and intellectuals during one of the most dynamic periods in British history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
