Summary "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 07, No. 43, May, 1861" by Various is a periodical magazine that features literature, art, and political discourse from the mid-19th century. This particular installment begins with "Agnes of Sorrento," a fictional narrative set in the charming Italian town of Sorrento, highlighting the life of a young girl named Agnes and the influence of her protective grandmother, Elsie, as they navigate their lives amidst the backdrop of Italian culture, faith, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening of "Agnes of Sorrento" introduces readers to the picturesque setting of Sorrento, described vividly through the imagery of its ancient structures and serene landscapes. Young Agnes is depicted as a bright and innocent girl, engaged in her evening prayers while surrounded by her market-working grandmother, whose practicality contrasts with Agnes' youthful naivety. A handsome cavalier enters the scene, showing immediate interest in Agnes, which causes a stir in both her and her grandmother. Their interaction hints at themes of love and protection, embodied in Elsie's stern measures to shield Agnes from the temptations of the world. The chapter sets the stage for a narrative that will explore the interplay of duty, innocence, and the complexities of attraction in a tightly woven familial and social structure.
