Summary "Calvert of Strathore" by Abbe Carter Goodloe is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of France in 1789, the story revolves around Edward Calvert, a young American who embarks on a journey to Paris where he serves as the secretary to Thomas Jefferson, the newly appointed minister to France. The narrative likely explores themes of political turbulence, personal growth, and cultural exchange during a time of significant upheaval as France approaches the brink of revolution. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to a bustling morning at the American Legation in Paris, highlighting the anticipation surrounding the arrival of influential guests, including Mr. Gouverneur Morris and Edward Calvert himself. Jefferson's character is vividly portrayed as he eagerly awaits the young secretary's arrival, expressing his emotional warmth and affection. The text further delves into the relationships formed between Jefferson, Morris, and Calvert, all while subtly foreshadowing the political tension of the times. Calvert's initial interactions and observations set the stage for his role within this politically charged atmosphere, where the ideals of liberty and change hang in the air.
