Summary "Anna St. Ives" by Thomas Holcroft is a novel written in the late 18th century, likely around the year 1792. The narrative centers on Anna Wenbourne St. Ives, who embarks on a journey from her home to London and eventually to Paris, where various adventures and encounters with fellow characters await her, including potential romantic interests and reflections on society. The opening of the novel introduces Anna as she prepares for her trip, corresponding with her friend Louisa. Through her letters, we see her excitement and anticipation for the journey and her encounters, especially with Louisa's brother, Coke Clifton. The initial chapters also establish important themes such as social class, familial expectations, and personal desires, alongside hints of complexities in relationships, especially concerning Anna’s feelings for Frank Henley, who becomes embroiled in a highway incident that evokes both admiration and concern. This correspondence sets the stage for a story rich in character interactions and societal commentary. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
