Descripción
Sumario:Here, published for the first time, is the complete fragment of Romney together with two of his other unpublished Philadelphia works. Wister set Romney in Philadelphia (called Monopolis in the novel) during the 1880s, when, as he saw it, the city was passing from the old to a new order. The hero of the story, Romney, is a man of "no social position" who nonetheless rises to the top because he has superior ability. It is thus a novel about the possibilities for meaningful social change in a democracy.
