Hapgood, a journalist of the ‘new’ sympathetic school, tells the life of Marie, who moves from school and factory work through domestic service to restless rebellion. Her meeting with Terry, a philosophical anarchist and hobo, draws her into a radical salon of thieves, poets and agitators, as Hapgood tries to understand what he calls the temperament of revolt.
A vivid document of American bohemia and radicalism in the 1900s, closer to reportage than romance. Download the free EPUB.
