The Coxon Fund by Henry James
"The Coxon Fund" by Henry James is a short story published in 1894. Frank Saltram possesses a brilliant mind that dazzles in conversation but produces nothing tangible. He lives off others' generosity while recognizing no obligations. When a substantial inheritance meant for a deserving intellectual becomes available, a moral dilemma emerges: should the unreliable but captivating Saltram receive it? The decision threatens an engagement and forces those around him to weigh genius
against character, potential against performance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
