Plot Summary of Tom Wedderburn's Life
"Tom Wedderburn's Life is the story of a nineteenth century man forced to live in the tumultuous twentieth. Born in a remote corner of America and imbued with the learning and mores of a past era, Tom falls in love with a modern woman he does not understand, nearly throws his life away in World War II, and turns his back upon the world, yet finds a measure of redemption in his old age."
Ted Judson, Resident Scholar
