Summary

In "With the Procession," Henry Blake Fuller explores the intricate interplay between social ambition and personal identity in late 19th-century America. Through a vivid narrative infused with realism, Fuller captures the tensions between conventional morality and the burgeoning ideals of individualism. The novel encapsulates the struggles of its protagonist, Philip K. Lichtenstein, as he navigates the landscapes of Chicago—a city emblematic of progress and ambition—amidst the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. Fuller's literary style is marked by keen psychological insights and a critical eye towards social structures, making this work a vital piece in the canon of American realism. Henry Blake Fuller, an influential figure within the Chicago literary scene, authored this seminal work against the backdrop of his own experiences in the city's vibrant cultural milieu. Growing up in a period of burgeoning urbanization and shifts in social dynamics, Fuller's life was profoundly shaped by the interactions between art and society. His intimate understanding of Chicago's landscape and social fabric is evident throughout the narrative, as he fuses autobiographical elements with astute observations of contemporary life. "With the Procession" is a compelling read for those interested in the nuances of human psychology, urban development, and the cultural shifts of the Gilded Age. Fuller's masterful storytelling urges readers to reflect on their own social roles and aspirations, making this book not only a historical artifact but a timeless exploration of the human condition.

    She struggles against her enemies. 
But still, they stand in her way. 
In 14th century England, Meg of St. Michael’s Mead endures a life of abuse and isolation due to her birth deformity. However, her fortunes change when the village wise woman saves her and teaches her the art of healing. After witnessing a shocking birth, Meg discovers her true purpose: to become England’s first licensed female physician and provide compassionate care to women. 
To achieve her goal, Meg seeks the tutelage of William of Oxford, a gruff surgeon who agrees to mentor her. But there's a catch. She must keep a secret—William and his son Gerard are performing illegal human dissections—and she must assist them. As Gerard and Meg work together, their feelings for each other deepen. 
Amidst a civil war, Meg makes an enemy of the Queen, who accuses her of treason. Forced to flee to Montpellier, France, Meg tries to enter medical school, only to be met with resistance. She is told to marry, stay at home, and please her husband. Meg refuses to conform. When a deadly epidemic breaks out in Montpellier, Meg has one last chance to prove herself, but at the risk of losing Gerard.  
A story of one woman’s courage and persistence, this captivating tale follows Meg's arduous journey of overcoming prejudice and adversity as she battles societal expectations amidst the specter of a lethal epidemic.
