Discords (1895)

Discords is a collection of short stories written by George Egerton and published in 1895. The stories explore the lives of women in the late 19th century and their struggles with societal expectations and gender roles. Egerton's writing is known for its frank and often controversial depictions of female sexuality and desire, which caused a stir among Victorian readers. The stories in Discords cover a range of themes, including love, marriage, motherhood, and the pursuit of artistic expression. Egerton's characters are complex and multifaceted, challenging traditional notions of femininity and pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in literature at the time. Despite its controversial subject matter, Discords was a critical success and helped establish Egerton as a pioneering feminist writer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
