| Summary | "An Outcast; Or, Virtue and Faith" by F. Colburn Adams is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Charleston and New York during a time of societal upheaval, exploring themes of morality, vice, and redemption through the lives of its characters. The focus seems to be on the struggles of individuals caught in the moral crises of their time, particularly revolving around the titular character who navigates a world of judgment and compassion. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a Charleston plagued by yellow fever and social unrest. The atmosphere is heavy with fear, haunting vacated streets, and the looming presence of death. Amidst this backdrop, the young and beautiful Anna Bonnard mourns her friend Miranda, an outcast, laying flowers on her grave. The narrative then shifts to depict the disreputable Madame Flamingo’s house, a hub for societal vices, where Anna finds herself entangled with morally ambiguous characters like Mr. Snivel and Judge Sleepyhorn. Tensions rise as Anna grapples with her identity as an outcast and the complexities of love and loyalty, setting the stage for deeper exploration of the consequences of societal judgment and the nature of salvation.
