Richard Gresham

By Robert Morss Lovett

Book Overview

""Richard Gresham"" is a biographical novel written by Robert Morss Lovett. The book tells the story of Richard Gresham, a young man from a wealthy family who becomes disillusioned with his privileged life and decides to devote himself to social reform. Set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the novel follows Gresham as he becomes involved with socialists, anarchists, and other radical groups, and becomes a leading figure in the labor movement. Along the way, he falls in love with a young woman named Alice, who shares his passion for social justice. The novel is a vivid portrait of a turbulent period in American history, and a powerful exploration of the struggle for social change. Through Gresham's story, Lovett offers a compelling critique of the excesses of capitalism and the need for a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
