| Summary |
"The Disowned — Volume 03" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story pivots around themes of ambition, social status, and personal relationships, focusing particularly on the characters Clarence Linden and his interactions with others as he navigates societal expectations and his own aspirations. In the opening portion, the narrative begins with a comedic dialogue featuring Mr. Copperas and his wife discussing local gossip and the fate of a young man named Clarence Linden, hinting at scandal and intrigue. As the scene unfolds, we learn of Mr. Linden's complicated relationships and the ramifications of his recent good fortune after a robbery tied to an elderly benefactor. Alongside this, we meet the passionate young artist, Warner, who becomes increasingly obsessive about his work, neglecting his health for the sake of achieving artistic recognition. The interactions among these characters set the stage for a rich exploration of ambition, friendship, and the challenges presented by societal norms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
