Dick And Larry: Freshmen

By Francis Lynde

A witty, humane mirror of youth and aspiration, Dick And Larry: Freshmen invites readers to wander a gilded-age campus where ambition meets social design and the everyday becomes art. This public domain classic novel channels the sly bite of classic literary satire to explore turn of century America through the eyes of two young men navigating college life, youth ambition, and romance within a society that polices every move. It's a lucid blend of society-and-self, where comic misadventure and earnest striving illuminate how students, and by extension all of us, craft identities under public gaze and private longing. This is more than a coming-of-age tale; it's a keen observation of the era's hopes, fears, and social expectations, rendered with warmth and wit that still resonates with today's readers. Historically significant as a contemporary of Mark Twain and other early American fiction voices, the novel offers a window for period drama readership and classic literature students alike. Alpha Editions now returns this piece to life-out of print for decades and newly restored for today's and future generations. It is, in essence, more than a reprint: a collector's item and a cultural treasure that invites casual readers and seasoned collectors to savour a turn-of-the-century voice, a beloved public domain work, and a richly pictured world of gilded-age settings.
