Description

The Potiphar Papers, a novel by George William Curtis published in 1864, is a sharp and engaging social commentary interwoven with elements of humor and satire. The story is centered around the life of its protagonist, the unconventional and idealistic youth named Arthur Potiphar. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, Curtis explores themes of individuality, societal expectation, and the clash between idealism and reality. Potiphar’s misadventures expose the absurdities of contemporary life, particularly touching on the moral and ethical dilemmas facing New England’s bourgeoisie. The novel deftly critiques the constraints of social convention, as Potiphar navigates love, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness. Curtis's witty prose and insightful characterizations invite readers to reflect on their own lives and the often hypocritical nature of society. The Potiphar Papers remains a thought-provoking work that challenges its audience to consider deeper truths within a rapidly changing world.
