Summary "The Dim Lantern" by Temple Bailey is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the suburban setting of Sherwood Park, focusing on the lives of the Barnes family, particularly the spirited Jane Barnes and her artistic brother, Baldwin. Themes of love, social standing, and personal aspiration resonate throughout the narrative, providing a rich backdrop against which the characters navigate their relationships and challenges. The opening of the novel introduces the mundane yet intimate world of Jane and her brother, Baldwin, as they go about breakfast preparations amid their contrasting personalities. Jane is depicted as an optimistic, lively young woman who finds beauty in everyday life, while Baldwin struggles with the weight of depression and artistic ambition. Their interactions reveal a close sibling bond, marked by light-hearted banter and family responsibilities. The plot is further layered by the intrigue surrounding Edith Towne, a beautiful and society-connected figure whose sudden desertion at her wedding sets off a chain of events that captivates both Baldwin and Jane, highlighting their desires for connection and meaning in a rapidly changing world.
