About this eBook

Author MacGrath, Harold, 1871-1932
Title Arms and the Woman
Credits E-text prepared by Al Haines
Summary "Arms and the Woman" by Harold MacGrath is a romance novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the main character, John Winthrop, a young reporter navigating the complexities of love and ambition in a rapidly changing society. It explores themes of unrequited love, social class differences, and the pursuits of both romantic and professional aspirations, particularly in relation to Winthrop's feelings for the beautiful Phyllis and his personal dreams of success. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to John Winthrop as a twenty-two-year-old reporter who encounters Phyllis in a garden. Their initial meeting is marked by a blend of youthful infatuation and the awkwardness of youth. After some years apart, they reconnect at Block Island, where their friendship deepens, though it is framed by the constraints of social class and Winthrop’s professional struggles. The opening chapters set up a rich tapestry of romantic tension and ambition, hinting at John's longing to break free from his financial struggles and to win Phyllis's affections, while also foreshadowing the heartache that may come from his unacknowledged feelings.
