Sinopse

In "Possession," Louis Bromfield explores the intricate dynamics of love, ambition, and the clash of personal desires against societal expectations. Set against the backdrop of a decaying Ohio estate, the narrative unfolds with a rich, lyrical style that mirrors the complexities of its characters' inner lives. Bromfield's keen observations on nature and human relationships breathe life into the story, creating a tapestry that reflects early 20th-century American cultural shifts. This novel stands as a testament to his ability to blend romanticism with a critical lens on the changing world around him, encapsulating a moment in time when traditional values began to wane. Bromfield was not only a novelist but also a passionate advocate for agrarian reform and environmental stewardship. His deep connection to the land and its complexities is evident in his writings, stemming from his own experiences on a farm in Ohio. This intimate familiarity with both the physical and emotional landscapes enriches "Possession," allowing him to delve into the fragility of human connections amidst societal transformations. Readers seeking a thought-provoking examination of love's duality and the interplay of personal and collective identities will find "Possession" particularly compelling. This novel invites reflection on the essence of ownership—not just of land, but of relationships and one's own identity, making it a timeless exploration of human existence.

    Frank Richard Stockton was born in Philadelphia on 5th April 1834.  
    His father, a Methodist minister, discouraged Stockton’s literary career from an early age.  Feeling unable to go against those wishes it was for many years that Stockton’s income was maintained as a wood engraver.   
    His first work was published in 1867 and his first collection only appeared in 1870.  Despite this late arrival Stockton’s innovative and often far-fetched stories, with a gentle ‘poking fun’ humour were very popular.  Like his contemporary Mark Twain he avoided the scolding, hectoring and moral tones of many other authors and instead gently teased and cajoled his reader to open their eyes to the ills, the greed and the ambitions of the world around them.  His sci-fi stories in particular were far-seeing and inventive including a tale of negative gravity and a bloodless Anglo-US war won by technological feats.  
    Perhaps his most enduring tale though is ‘The Lady, or the Tiger?’ from 1882.  A condemned man is given a choice of being eaten alive or marrying his princess lover.  But he has to choose which door each is behind. 
    Frank R Stockton died in Washington, DC, on 20th April 1902, of a cerebral haemorrhage.  He is buried at The Woodlands in Philadelphia.
