| Summary | "Jessamine: A Novel" by Marion Harland is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The story introduces a young girl named Jessie, who is captivated by a church ceremony and the orator, Mr. Fordham, revealing her idealistic nature and romantic yearnings. As the narrative unfolds, we encounter her interactions with various characters, including Mr. Wyllys, who enters her life amidst a celebration, setting the stage for themes of love, aspiration, and the intricacies of social dynamics. The opening of "Jessamine" presents Jessie, who is portrayed as vibrant yet physically fragile, lying in her oriel-window, lost in admiration for the powerful speaker at the church. Her affection for Mr. Fordham quickly becomes apparent, as does her sense of pride in her heritage and community's history. Meanwhile, her interaction with Mr. Wyllys reveals her desire for connection and acceptance amidst her burgeoning emotions and the consequences of her physical limitations from an injury. This portion of the novel effectively establishes the characters' relationships and hints at the potential for romantic developments as the story progresses.
