An Anglo-American Alliance: A Serio-Comic Romance and Forecast of the Future
"An Anglo-American Alliance: A Serio-Comic Romance and Forecast of the Future" by Gregory Casparian is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins in the year 1960 and presents a blend of serious ideas and comedic elements through its narrative, focusing on the themes of international relations and the notion of universal brotherhood. Central to the tale is the young beauty, Aurora Cunningham, who studies at the Diana YoungLadies' Seminary and navigates the dynamics of friendship and romantic desire alongside her American classmate, Margaret MacDonald. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the prestigious Diana Young Ladies' Seminary, a school renowned for shaping young women into desirable companions for the elite. The institution's reputation attracts students from around the world, including the charming English girl Aurora and the spirited American Margaret. As they form a close bond, both face the impending reality of graduation and separation, leading them to pledge allegiance to each other and resist romantic advances from their male peers. Their journey is marked by a blend of academic pursuits, social activities, and the anticipation of transformative events, including a dramatic moonlit soirée that underscores their friendship's significance amidst societal expectations. The opening sets the stage for a narrative that intertwines personal allegiances with broader themes of geopolitical aspirations, hinting at the socio-political commentary woven throughout the book.
