"The Coast of Bohemia" by William Dean Howells is a tale of artistic ambition and identity. The storyline follows a young artist named Ludlow, as he navigates life, art, and society in the late 1800’s. Ludlow begins his journey encountering the raw, vibrant scenes of a county fair and the seediness of rural America, which inspires his art. He struggles with his work, and cynicism about art in small town America, but remains in awe of the world around him. His path soon crosses Cornelia, a fellow artist, and they embark on their creative journeys, exploring their aspirations in a complex American society.
