Crawfords Consistency
Crawford's Consistency is a novel written by the renowned American author, Henry James. The book is set in the early 20th century and tells the story of a wealthy American businessman named Spencer Brydon. After living abroad in Europe for many years, Brydon returns to his hometown of New York City and becomes obsessed with the idea of recapturing the sense of consistency and stability that he had previously experienced in his life.As he becomes more and more fixated on this idea, Brydon begins to withdraw from his family and friends, and even begins to question his own sanity. He becomes convinced that he has the ability to travel back in time and revisit his past, and begins to spend his days wandering the streets of New York in search of the elusive feeling of consistency that he so desperately craves.Throughout the novel, James explores themes of identity, memory, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. He also delves into the psychology of obsession and the ways in which it can consume a person's life. With its complex characters and intricate plot, Crawfords Consistency is a thought-provoking and engaging read that will leave readers pondering the nature of human existence long after they have turned the final page.The lightning fell, in fact, a short time afterward. Crawford saw Miss Ingram, admired her, observed her, and loved her. The impression she produced upon him was indeed a sort of summing up of the impression she produced upon society at large. The circumstances of her education and those under which she made her first appearance in the world, were such as to place her beauty in extraordinary relief. She had been brought up more in the manner of an Italian princess of the middle ages----sequestered from conflicting claims of ward-ship than as the daughter of a plain American citizen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
