Bertram Cope's Year (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169289734)

Bertram Cope's Year is a novel written by Henry Blake Fuller. The story follows the life of Bertram Cope, a young man who moves to the city of Chicago to pursue a career in academia. Bertram is a handsome and charming man, and he quickly becomes popular among his colleagues and students. However, as the year progresses, Bertram becomes increasingly withdrawn and isolated. He is plagued by a sense of loneliness and alienation, and he struggles to find meaning in his life. Meanwhile, his colleagues and students become increasingly interested in him, and they begin to speculate about his personal life. The novel explores themes of identity, sexuality, and social norms, and it offers a nuanced and complex portrait of a young man struggling to find his place in the world.""The third girl--if you want to hear any more about them--seems to be a secretary. Think of having the run of a house where a social secretary is required! I'm sure she sends out the invitations and keeps the engagement- book. Besides all that, she writes poetry--she is the minstrel of the court. She does verses about her chatelaine--is quite the mistress of self- respecting adulation. She would know the difference between Herrick and Cowper!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
