| Summary | "Gabrielle de Bergerac" by Henry James is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book appears to explore the intricacies of love, social standing, and personal ambitions, centered around the character of Mlle. de Bergerac and her relationships with her nephew, the Chevalier, and her suitor, Gaston de Treuil. The story is poised to delve into themes of duty, desire, and the impact of historical change on personal lives amidst the backdrop of the approaching French Revolution. The opening of "Gabrielle de Bergerac" sets a reflective tone, featuring a conversation between the narrator and the elderly Baron de Bergerac. The Baron reminisces about his past and presents his aunt, Mlle. de Bergerac, often depicted in a beloved portrait, as a central figure in his life. As the narrative progresses, readers are introduced to various characters, including Pierre Coquelin, a tutor who becomes closely intertwined with the family, and a blend of humor and melancholy surrounds their lives in rural France. The dynamics of love, especially the budding affections in a tumultuous societal context, begin to unfold, hinting at the complexities of the characters' relationships and the historical events that shape their fates.
