Unromantic county court blocks farm romance in 19th century tale
A tale from the county farm reports two residents Meade and Mrs. Eliza Anderson seeking to wed but are blocked by the county court due to farm tenancy rules. The judge deems marriages among tenants inappropriate and the couple must remain apart unless they leave the farm. The piece blends sensational romance with commentary on social custom and literary essays by Henry Dwight Sedgwick.
