Coles Fanshawe: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Fanshawe opens in the hushed, antiquated world of Harley College, a small New England seminary set apart in a secluded valley and valued less for brilliance than for the practical men it sends into the world. Beneath its discipline and religious decorum, Hawthorne traces a vivid community of rustic boys, polished townsmen, and stern but humane authority, centered on Dr. Melmoth, a thoughtful president whose private unhappiness is softened by his study and his students' harmless mischief. When an old friend's letter reaches him, the novel turns toward domestic and emotional entanglement. Mr. Langton, worn by years abroad, entrusts his daughter Ellen to Melmoth's care, and her arrival quietly transforms the household. Beautiful, warm, and resourceful, she wins affection through gentleness rather than display, while her presence draws the admiration of Harley's young men, especially Edward Walcott. Their ride through the wild landscape leads them past the pale, gifted, and troubled Fanshawe, then to a poor cottage of two grieving sisters, and finally toward an inn where comic rusticity gives way to danger as Hugh Crombie's tricks expose Ellen to a humiliating crisis. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
