Summary "Edgar Saltus: The Man" by Marie Saltus is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life of Edgar Saltus, a complex and often misunderstood figure whose literary and personal life was marked by eccentricities, contradictions, and a quest for self-knowledge. Through a series of anecdotes and reflections, the author offers insight into Saltus's personality, relationships, and the struggles he faced with societal norms. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces us to Edgar Saltus's character, detailing his tumultuous upbringing and the influences that shaped his unconventional worldview. The complexities of his relationships, particularly with his mother and his two wives, are laid bare, revealing a man trapped between his desires and societal expectations. From his childhood experiences to his eventual forays into literature and love, the opening portion paints a vivid picture of Saltus as both a brilliant writer and a man beset by his emotional and psychological limitations. The glimpse into his early life sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the man behind the myth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
