Hagar

by Mary Johnston

Overview

A work of great scope, Hagar takes a sheltered daughter of the postwar South from family plantation to New York City tenement, from Fabian London to Caribbean moon-light. The story's heroine, young Hagar Ashendyne, questions the constraints of her culture and eventually, through the freedom gained by her writing career, escapes its restrictions.
