A Modern Idyll
Produced by David Widger
"A Modern Idyll" by Frank Harris is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work explores themes of love, temptation, and moral conflict within a Christian context, particularly focusing on the life of a minister who finds himself torn between his duties and his desires. The story follows the Rev. John Letgood, a minister struggling with his feelings for the much younger and enigmatic Mrs. Belle Hooper, who is married to Deacon Hooper. As Letgood grapples with his love for Belle and receives a lucrative call to a church in Chicago, he faces a moral and emotional dilemma: should he follow his heart or his spiritual calling? Throughout the novel, Harris delves into the complexities of Letgood’s inner turmoil as he wrestles with temptation, faith, and his responsibility to his congregation. The narrative highlights the tension between personal desires and societal expectations, culminating in a choice that tests the very fabric of Letgood's character.
