Summary "Dorothy, and Other Italian Stories" by Constance Fenimore Woolson is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The collection features explorations of life and relationships within Italian settings, following the experiences of characters linked to the titular character, Dorothy, as they navigate themes of love, loss, and cultural observations. Woolson's writing provides readers with a glimpse into both the beauty and complexities of human emotions set against picturesque Italian backdrops. At the start of "Dorothy," we are introduced to a villa in Tuscany where various guests gather for tea on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The narrative highlights the interactions among these visitors, including Dorothy, who is depicted as a lively and charming presence, captivating attention as she flits about the villa. As the story unfolds, we see dynamic relationships among the characters, particularly between Dorothy and two young men, Owen Charrington and Wadsworth Brunetti, creating a light yet intricate atmosphere filled with social nuances and underlying emotions. This opening portion establishes a richly detailed setting and provides a glimpse into the interactions that will shape the characters’ experiences throughout the collection.
