Way Down East: A Romance of New England Life is a novel written by Joseph R. Grismer in 1900. The story is set in a small New England village and follows the life of a young woman named Anna Moore. Anna, who is orphaned at a young age, is forced to leave her home and seek employment with a wealthy family in the city. While working as a governess, Anna falls in love with the family's son, David Bartlett. However, their love is met with opposition from David's mother, who disapproves of Anna's humble background. After a series of tragic events, Anna is forced to return to her village and live with her aunt. There, she meets and falls in love with a young farmer named Lennox Sanderson. However, their happiness is threatened by the return of David, who is determined to win Anna back. The novel explores themes of love, class, and societal expectations in a small New England community. It also provides a glimpse into the daily life and customs of rural New England in the late 19th century. Way Down East was adapted into a successful play and later became the basis for several film adaptations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
