Summary "Under St Paul's: A Romance" by Richard Dowling is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds primarily around the character George Osborne, a man who embarks on his first significant journey away from home to London, where he encounters the captivating Miss Marie Gordon, a cosmopolitan woman with a complex background. Their interactions reveal themes of love, identity, and societal expectations, set against the backdrop of London’s vibrant life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a dinner scene at Mrs. Barclay's private hotel where George Osborne meets Marie Gordon, an intriguing and beautiful young woman. Their conversation is lively and filled with playful banter, hinting at a mutual attraction. George grapples with his feelings of admiration and confusion as he reflects on his sheltered life in Stratford-on-Avon compared to the bustling and dynamic city he finds himself in. The opening chapters set the stage for a romantic exploration as the characters’ paths intertwine, exploring the complexities of their personalities, aspirations, and the rapidly changing world around them.
