Synopsis
A Listener In Babel: Being A Series Of Imaginary Conversations Held At The Close Of The Last Century And Reported by Vida Dutton Scudder. This volume gathers a sequence of imagined conversations centered on the modern American seeker Hilda Lathrop, whose artistic sensibility, moral conscience, and social sympathy pull her from a sheltered life of beauty into the turbulence of urban philanthropy, settlement work, and labor agitation. Through dialogues with workers, reformers, scholars, and clergymen, the book probes democracy, socialism, philanthropy, and the spiritual hunger of a rapidly changing society. The Foreword frames the drama as scenes of inner life rather than conventional plot, inviting readers to witness the evolution of thought and conviction. Across chapters — from solitary yearning to collective action, from scholarly debate to street-level poverty — the characters debate how to translate idealism into practice, art into social service, and faith into lived solidarity. The work closes with a tempered, hopeful sense of humanity’s capacity to blend beauty, justice, and community.
