Mr. Hodge & Mr. Hazard – Elinor Wylie (1928)

Description: Mr. Hodge & Mr. Hazard – Elinor Wylie (1928) This novel from American poet and novelist Elinor Wylie, set in the third decade of the 19th century, concerns an incident in the life of a poet (modeled after Shelley) who for 20 years fought passionately for the betterment of mankind. Now he is too liberal for the proper, prosperous England of his day and he is alienated from the society in which he had been accustomed to move. Exhausted emotionally and bruised from the shabby treatment he has received, he finds happiness for one summer in the company of Lady Clara Hunting and her two daughters, Allegra and Penserosa. Unfortunately, the materialistic, cold world intervenes in the person of Mr. Hodge. After a sharp, brief clash, Mr. Hazard's summer ends--a summer of delicate and rare perfection against a background of dying hopes and lost causes. But Mr. Hazard has a memory to cherish.
