Summary "Kennedy Square" by Francis Hopkinson Smith is a novel written during the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque square in a bygone era, the narrative introduces us to characters steeped in the social fabric and intricacies of their time, primarily revolving around St. George Wilmot Temple, an attorney, and his devoted young servant Todd. The book likely explores themes of social class, loyalty, and the complexities of personal relationships amid the evolving dynamics of a changing society. The opening portion sets the stage with vivid descriptions of Kennedy Square, revealing it as a vibrant, lively hub where various characters interact against the backdrop of nature's beauty. We meet Todd, a jovial young servant eagerly waiting for his master’s return from a hunting trip. St. George’s character is gradually unveiled, highlighting his charm and the dynamics of his relationships, especially with Todd and the local society. Todd's anticipation reflects the warmth and community spirit of the time, establishing not only the physical setting but also the social nuances that will likely play a central role throughout the story.
