Love,—and the Philosopher: A Study in Sentiment by Marie Corelli
"Love,—and the Philosopher: A Study in Sentiment" by Marie Corelli is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around a philosophical man—referred to as the Philosopher—engaged in a dialogue about love and sentiment with a young woman, who embodies innocence and emotional depth. Their interactions probe into themes of love, gender dynamics, and the nature of sentimentality, set against the backdrop of a picturesque garden that reflects thecontrast between their worldviews. The opening of the book introduces the Philosopher's cynical perspective on love as he dismisses emotional expressions, while the young woman listens with a blend of amusement and gentle defiance. The conversation reveals her subtle strength and opposing sentimentality while hinting at the nascent complexities of their relationship. As the Philosopher observes her, he grapples with unexpected feelings towards her innocence and charm, countering his supposed disdain for sentiment. This dynamic sets the stage for exploring deeper emotional connections amidst his philosophical assertions, leaving readers intrigued by how these two contrasting characters might navigate the intricacies of love and companionship.
