The novel opens with Denis Stone; a young and hopeful poet who is filled with excitement, during his journey to Crome, at the thought of being the guest of his old friends, Henry and Priscilla Wimbush; not particularly on their own account, but rather on that of their niece. Anne Wimbush, for that is her name, is depicted as a young modern woman. She is slightly older than Denis. Yet, this fact does not seem to hinder the lad from nurturing strong emotions towards her. In fact, his visit is altogether prompted by designs and desires of establishing a strong link, and a solid relationship between them before the vacation is over. Soon after his arrival, however, Denis is met with disappointments that mark the beginning of a mental progress filled with struggles. He realizes, with a great deal of dissatisfaction, that he is not the center, around which, the other guests would spin. To his vexation, his adventures and anecdotes in London attract very little attention and interest; for which reason, he soon relapses into silence and a quiet observation of the little party assembled at Crome.
