Description
In The Minister's Charge (1886), Lemuel Barker leaves his impoverished farm and comes to Boston hoping to become a published poet. Proud, innocent, and implacably honest, he is quickly plunged into the humiliating depths of urban homelessness. His plight weighs on the conscience of David Sewell, a minister who could not bear to tell Barker how bad his poetry was. As he witnesses Lemuel's attempts to live a dignified life in a city marked by cruel indifference and unexpected kindness, Sewell must confront the "complicity" he shares in the fate of every member of his society.
