The Action and The Word: A Novel of New York is a literary work by American author Brander Matthews, first published in 1900. The novel is set in New York City during the late 19th century and tells the story of a young man named Philip Held, who is struggling to find his place in the world. Philip is a writer who is torn between his desire to write and his need to make a living. He is also in love with a young woman named Margaret, who is from a wealthy family and has very different aspirations than Philip. As Philip navigates the complexities of his personal and professional life, he becomes involved in a political movement that is trying to reform the corrupt political system in New York City.The novel explores themes of love, ambition, social class, and political corruption. Matthews uses the characters and setting of New York City to provide a vivid portrayal of urban life during this time period. The Action and The Word is a thought-provoking and engaging work that offers a unique perspective on the challenges of living in a rapidly changing society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
