Wylie, born and raised to perform the life of a debutante and a society wife, rebelled against expectations and became notorious for her multiple marriages and affairs. This novel in some means parallels her own life. It follows an idealistic poet in the 1830s whose liberal morals result in him being alienated from the society to which he is accustomed.
