Malbone: An Oldport Romance is a novel written by Thomas Wentworth Higginson. The story is set in Newport, Rhode Island, during the mid-19th century and revolves around the love affair between the wealthy and charming Malbone and the beautiful but fragile Clara. Malbone is a talented artist and a popular socialite who is known for his wit and charm. Clara is a delicate and sensitive young woman who is struggling with her health and her emotions. As the two fall deeply in love, they must navigate the complexities of social class, family expectations, and personal demons. Higginson's prose is rich with vivid descriptions of Newport's opulent society, as well as the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Malbone: An Oldport Romance is a timeless tale of love and loss, and a poignant exploration of the human heart.PHILIP MALBONE had that perfectly sunny temperament which is peculiarly captivating among Americans, because it is so rare. He liked everybody and everybody liked him; he had a thousand ways of affording pleasure, and he received it in the giving. He had a personal beauty, which, strange to say, was recognized by both sexes, --for handsome men must often consent to be mildly hated by their own. He had travelled much, and had mingled in very varied society; he had a moderate fortune, no vices, no ambition, and no capacity of ennui.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
