Problems and Methods of Literary History: With Special Reference to Modern French Literature, a Guide for Graduate Students (1922)

We left Maryas story at a crossroads, leaving her to find an open door, or chance driving her badly tuned, bald-tired car home. She thought her worst troubles were behind her. She had gone hungry, been gossiped about, been accused of misdeeds that she did not do. She had tried desperately to obtain a respectable job, but she was constantly turned down because she was, in their eyes, a damned Yankee. She had been lied to, taken advantage of, and thrown out on the streets, leaving her homeless. Where would she go? What would she do? How was she going to deal with this? Maryas challenge to God was not over, and she had no idea what lay ahead for her. There were more lessons for her to learn here and a few matters to be resolved. She had life-altering decisions to make. We hope you learn from her lessons.
