Summary "Atlantic Narratives: Modern Short Stories" edited with an introduction by Charles Swain Thomas is a collection of modern short stories likely compiled in the early 20th century. The book showcases a variety of narratives that reflect the complexities of human experience and explore themes ranging from relationships to moral dilemmas, featuring various characters navigating their own personal conflicts. The opening of the collection begins with "The Preliminaries" by Cornelia A. P. Comer, where we are introduced to Young Oliver Pickersgill, who is in love with Ruth Lannithorne, the daughter of a man imprisoned for embezzlement. Oliver's determination to marry Ruth is challenged by the perceptions and prejudices shaped by her father's past, which leads him to confront both Ruth and her mother's views on marriage and his own suitability as a partner. This opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of societal expectations and personal values as Oliver navigates the complexities of love intertwined with familial legacies.
