Description
The Fourth Generation is a novel by Walter Besant, told in parts. The copy here is a fourth print, made in New York. The rights date from 1899 and 1900 in the front of the book. It opens on a bleak March day in the English countryside.
The first part is named for a far-off forebear of the clan. The tale then asks what the next in line wants of life. A lost son comes home in one of the mid parts. A girl named Mary Anne takes a part of her own in the tale. A book of clippings and a talk with a wise head move the plot. The last parts turn on a will and on signs of change. The name of the tale points to the fourth line of the house.
