520			_a"Common Cause: A Novel of the War in America" by Samuel Hopkins Adams is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of rising tensions in America prior to World War I, focusing on the experiences and interactions of several key characters in the fictional city of Fenchester. The protagonist, Jeremy Robson, a young reporter, navigates the complex dynamics surrounding American patriotism and German-American sentimentality during a convention of German societies, while also dealing with his own personal conflicts and aspirations. The opening of the novel presents Jeremy Robson at a German convention in Fenchester where the singing of patriotic German songs sets a tense and uneasy atmosphere. As he observes the fervent display of German pride, Jeremy learns about the political nuances at play, including the rising influence of German-Americans and their loyalty to their heritage, which contrasts with the American identity he grapples with. He encounters notable figures like Magnus Laurens and Marcia Ames, whose own backgrounds and motivations add depth to the unfolding narrative. The interplay of patriotism, identity, and personal ambition is introduced through Jeremy's desire to report on the event and highlight Americanism, as well as his growing infatuation with Marcia—setting the stage for conflicts both external and internal, amidst the looming specter of war.
