E. N. Southworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. This engaging work likely revolves around themes of romance, social class, and the complexities of human relationships, focusing on characters from different backgrounds. The title suggests a sense of foreboding or misfortune surrounding the Clifton family, particularly involving the experiences of women in their lives. The opening of the novel introduces two young equestrian travelers, Captain Archer Clifton and Lieutenant Francis Fairfax, as they navigate the perilous Eagle’s Flight in the Alleghenies. Amidst stunning but obscured landscapes, the two men engage in playful banter about their arduous journey and impending visit to Clifton’s home. As they traverse the mist, they discuss the notion of a noble lineage and its social implications, with Captain Clifton's reserved demeanor hinting at deeper personal connections, particularly regarding the mysterious Georgia, his uncle’s young wife. Their adventure leads them to a storm, forcing them into a remote mountain cabin where they encounter a shepherdess caring for her ill grandfather, marking a poignant moment that contrasts their privileged lives with the challenges faced by those of humble origins. This dramatic setup is indicative of the unfolding tensions and character introspections that drive the narrative forward.
