Beskrivelse af Lolly Willowes or The Loving Huntsman
Lolly Willowes or The Loving Huntsman is a novel written by Sylvia Townsend Warner. It was first published in 1926 and is considered a classic of feminist literature. The story revolves around a spinster named Laura Willowes, or Lolly, who lives with her family in London. After the death of her father, Lolly moves to the countryside to live with her brother and his family. However, she soon becomes restless and decides to strike out on her own. She moves to a small village called Great Mop, where she becomes involved in the local community and begins to explore her own identity. Lolly discovers that she has a talent for witchcraft and begins to use her powers to help the people of the village. However, her newfound independence and unconventional lifestyle are met with suspicion and disapproval from her family and society at large. The novel explores themes of female empowerment, freedom, and the struggle against societal expectations. Lolly Willowes or The Loving Huntsman is a witty and insightful novel that offers a unique perspective on the role of women in society.1926. Sylvia Townsend Warner's first novel is an enduring, subversive, and lyrical portrait of spinsterhood in post-World War I Britain. Lolly is a single woman and after her father dies, she is moved, as a matter of course, to her brother's house, where she meekly obliges to play caregiver to his children and housemaid to his wife. After 20 years of this life she moves to the rural village of Great Mop. She feels an affinity for the town, the countryside, and her new neighbors. She blossoms emotionally and spiritually, and as she does so, she discovers an important secret: She is a witch, as is everybody else who lives in Great Mop. A graceful read in the tradition of women's fiction and magic realism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
