"With the Procession" by Henry Blake Fuller is a novel believed to have been written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Marshall family, particularly focusing on the dynamics between its members and their interactions with the changing society around them, marked by the return of their son, Truesdale Marshall, after an extended period abroad. The opening of the novel introduces us to the elderly Mr. David Marshall, whose illness invokes surprising reactions from his family, who view his frailty as a crack in the once-impenetrable reliability they attributed to him. As the narrative progresses, it shifts to the bustling city life outside, illustrating the rising tensions between the family's established status and the modernizing world. Truesdale's return home, after years in Europe, sets the stage for family dramas, shifting social positions, and aspirations for relevance amidst a rapidly changing Chicago, where old values appear to clash with new realities. His sisters, Jane and Rosy, and their mother, Eliza, are fleshed out through their observations and responses to the city and to their brother’s newfound ‘elegance’ and experiences abroad, hinting at themes of social mobility and familial loyalty that will unfold throughout the narrative.
