The Right Of The Strongest (1913)

By Frances Nimmo Greene

Book Overview

The Right of the Strongest is a novel written by Frances Nimmo Greene and published in 1913. The book explores the themes of power, love, and morality in the context of a small New England town. The story revolves around the character of John Denby, a wealthy and powerful man who has always gotten what he wants. When he sets his sights on the beautiful and innocent Mary Lathrop, he uses his influence and wealth to manipulate her into a relationship. However, Mary's father, a man of strong moral character, opposes the match and tries to protect his daughter from Denby's advances. As the tension between the two men escalates, the town becomes divided, with some siding with Denby and others with Lathrop. The novel ultimately asks the question of whether the ""right of the strongest"" should always prevail, or if there is a higher moral code that should guide human behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
