More about the book
The narrative follows Edward Bumpus, a man grappling with the disorientation and loss of stability in a rapidly changing industrial society. At fifty-five, he finds himself as the gatekeeper of Chippering Mill in the chaotic settlement of Hampton, a far cry from the solid foundations of his Puritan upbringing. His journey reflects a deep sense of relinquishment, particularly from the Congregational Church, which he ultimately abandons for a world that seems to mock his past beliefs. The contrasting churches nearby symbolize the struggle between tradition and modernity in a tumultuous environment.
