| Summary |
"The Wolf's Long Howl" by Stanley Waterloo is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around George Henry Harrison, a man who, despite having lived a notably social life, finds himself grappling with sudden financial disaster and social ostracism. The novel explores themes of loneliness, honor, and recovery as George Henry navigates the depths of despair brought on by poverty and the impact it has on his relationships, including a budding romance with a woman named Sylvia Hartley. At the start of the book, George Henry Harrison faces the harsh reality of his financial downfall, leading to feelings of isolation and desperation. As he reflects on his situation, he grapples with the societal pressures and judgments that accompany poverty. Harrison's struggles are compounded by his love for Sylvia, which he feels he must abandon due to his inability to provide for her. The opening chapters set a bleak tone, presenting a man who is slowly losing his sense of self and confidence while yearning for meaningful connections amidst the howling threat of adversity, embodied metaphorically as a "wolf" at his door.
