1904

The Cost, written by David Graham Phillips and first published in 1904, is a domestic fiction novel that follows the journey of Pauline Gardiner, a spirited young girl navigating the complexities of youth and early romantic feelings. Set against the backdrop of her relationships with peers John Dumont and Hampden Scarborough, the story explores themes of social standing, personal growth, and the tension between parental expectations and individual desires. As Pauline transitions from childhood to adolescence, she grapples with authority, rebellion, and the emotional intricacies of her infatuations, setting the stage for her quest for autonomy.
