Lucy Dutton and the broken betrothal tragedy
A mid 19th century tale set in New York recounts Lucy Dutton, a scholarly belle betrayed by Edwin W and her sister Ellen misled by social ambition. Lucy’s subsequent madness, flight from men, and years of wandering end with a sober, faith-filled death in an alms house, where truth at last dawns and grace comforts her.
