Publisher's Synopsis

The New Werther or The Wealsman's Wrath: A Study in Characteristics is a novel written by David Simpson Graham in 1894. The book is a study of the character of a young man named Robert Wealsman, who is portrayed as a modern-day Werther, a character from Goethe's famous novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther. Wealsman is a sensitive and passionate young man who falls in love with a woman named Edith, but is unable to win her affections. He becomes increasingly despondent and begins to exhibit the same suicidal tendencies as Werther. The novel explores themes of unrequited love, mental illness, and the dangers of romanticizing suicide. The New Werther or The Wealsman's Wrath is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a unique perspective on a classic literary character.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
