According to Plato by Frank Frankfort Moore

"According to Plato" by Frank Frankfort Moore is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story opens with two characters, Josephine and Amber, discussing Mr. Richmond, a man of ideas and aspirations, who has founded a Technical School of Literature. Through witty dialogue, the characters explore their opinions on genius, bankruptcy, and the nature of literary talent as they contemplate their own ambitions and societal roles. The opening of the book introduces a lively conversation between Amber Severn and Josephine West, as they analyze Mr. Richmond's character and motivations. The dialogue reveals their perspectives on the literary world, the artistic community, and the practicality of writing. The discussion transitions from lighthearted banter about genius and fashion to more serious thoughts about the need for a structured approach to writing in a society keen on literary innovations. Throughout the conversation, hints of their personal relationships and societal standings emerge, setting the stage for larger themes of ambition, friendship, and the quest for identity within the narrative.
