Beskrivelse af The Heart of John Middleton
The Heart of John Middleton is a novel written by Elizabeth Gaskell, a celebrated British author of the Victorian era. The book is set in the mid-19th century and tells the story of John Middleton, a wealthy and successful businessman who is deeply unhappy with his life. Despite his wealth and status, John feels unfulfilled and disconnected from the world around him.As the story unfolds, John meets and falls in love with a young woman named Mary Barton. Mary is from a working-class family and John's love for her challenges his own beliefs and prejudices about class and social status. As John and Mary's relationship develops, they must navigate the challenges of their different backgrounds and the disapproval of those around them.Alongside John and Mary's story, the novel also explores themes of social inequality, the role of women in Victorian society, and the impact of industrialization on the working class. Gaskell's writing is known for its social commentary and The Heart of John Middleton is no exception, offering a nuanced and insightful portrayal of life in Victorian England.Overall, The Heart of John Middleton is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel that explores love, class, and social change in 19th century England.My contempt for him almost equalled my hate. If I were avoiding return to a place which I thought to be a hell upon earth, think you I would have taken a quiet sleep under any man's roof till, somehow or another, I was secure. Now comes this man, and, with incontinence of tongue, blabs out the very thing he most should conceal, and then lies down to a good, quiet, snoring sleep. I looked again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
