A quietly radical experiment in human kindness a novel that asks whether true selflessness is possible when the heart and society are tested.An Experiment in Altruism follows a richly drawn cast as they confront moral choices that ripple through family, friendship, and public life. Margaret Pollock Sherwood weaves a character-driven narrative that reads like philosophical fiction: intimate scenes and moral dilemmas unfold into wider questions of altruism and society, social ethics in fiction, and the limits of compassion. Readers will find thought-provoking novels hallmark: ideas embodied in living people rather than abstract essays, making this novel both emotionally engaging and intellectually rigorous.This early 20th-century novel occupies a unique place among classic literary works and moral philosophy books. Sherwood s subtle prose, keen psychological insight, and commitment to ethical inquiry give the book historical significance as a bridge between turn-of-the-century realism and modern social thought. Collectors and casual readers alike will appreciate its reflective pace, timeless philosophical themes, and resonance with contemporary debates about duty, generosity, and social responsibility.Out of print for decades, this edition is republished by Alpha Editions and carefully restored for today s and future generations. More than a reprint, this volume is a collector s item and cultural treasure an essential inclusion for anyone exploring altruism in literature, public domain literature, and the enduring power of moral imagination.
