Transcribed from the 1915 Martin Secker edition by David Price
"The Coxon Fund" by Henry James is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the complicated character of Frank Saltram, whose intellectual prowess and socially dubious reputation attract both admiration and disdain from those in his orbit, including the Mulvilles, who provide him with hospitality and support. The narrative hints at themes of morality, obligation, and the complexities of social connections within a genteel English society. The opening of the novel introduces us to the narrator’s initial encounter with Mr. Saltram while dining with the Mulvilles, where he is struck by Saltram's charisma and presence. As he reflects on the dynamics between Saltram and the other characters, particularly the Mulvilles, it becomes clear that Saltram is both a benefactor and an enigma. His stay seems to evoke a mix of eagerness and trepidation among his hosts, suggesting that their generosity may lead to a deeper emotional intertwining. The stage is set for a narrative that will explore the tension between Saltram's extraordinary mind and his social shortcomings, as well as how the lives of those around him will be inevitably shaped by their interactions with him.
