Project Gutenberg 2005-04-11 Public domain in the USA. 125 Glasgow, Ellen Anderson Gholson 1873 1945 One Man in His Time E-text prepared by David Garcia, Mary Meehan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "One Man in His Time" by Ellen Anderson Gholson Glasgow is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Stephen Culpeper, a young man grappling with the changing social and political landscape of Virginia, particularly in the context of the rise of Gideon Vetch, a controversial new governor with humble origins. It explores themes of tradition, democracy, and personal identity against a backdrop of social upheaval. At the start of the novel, Stephen is portrayed as a contemplative figure, reflecting on the decay of the old world he cherishes as modernity reshapes his surroundings. He feels a deep-seated resentment towards Gideon Vetch, who symbolizes the new order that threatens to diminish the values of the past. The opening scene establishes a sense of nostalgia and conflict as Stephen encounters Vetch's daughter, Patty, whose boldness challenges his conventional views. Their interactions hint at the tension between old and new social mores and set the stage for Stephen's internal struggle as he navigates a world in transition.
