Plot synopsis A female Bildungsroman, The Lamplighter tells the story of Gertrude Flint, an abandoned and mistreated orphan rescued at the age of eight by Trueman Flint, a lamplighter, from her abusive guardian, Nan Grant. Gertrude is lovingly raised and taught virtues and religious faith. She becomes a moralistic woman. In adulthood, she is rewarded for her long suffering with marriage to a childhood friend.... Maria Susanna Cummins (April 9, 1827 - October 1, 1866) was an American novelist. Maria Susanna Cummins was born in Salem, Massachusetts, on April 9, 1827.
