Souls Belated is a novel by the American author Edith Wharton, first published in 1899. The novel tells the story of Lydia and Gannett, two individuals who meet on a train and fall in love. Lydia is a married woman who has been living a life of luxury in Europe, while Gannett is a struggling journalist who has recently returned to America. Despite their different backgrounds, they are drawn to each other and begin a passionate affair.However, their love is complicated by their social status and the expectations of society. Lydia is torn between her desire for Gannett and her duty to her husband, while Gannett struggles with the moral implications of their relationship. As their affair continues, they are forced to confront the consequences of their actions and decide whether their love is worth risking everything for.Souls Belated is a poignant exploration of love, morality, and the constraints of society. Wharton's writing is elegant and insightful, capturing the complexities of human relationships with nuance and sensitivity. The novel is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.She stayed there for a long time, in the hypnotized contemplation, not of Mrs. Cope's present, but of her own past. Gannett, early that morning, had gone off on a long walk--he had fallen into the habit of taking these mountain tramps with various fellow lodgers; but even had he been within reach she could not have gone to him just then. She had to deal with herself first. She was surprised to find how, in the last months, she had lost the habit of introspection. Since their coming to the Hotel Bellosguardo she and Gannett had tacitly avoided themselves and each other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
