Lady Anna (Oxford World's Classics)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
First published in 1874, Lady Anna is a tale of enforced marriage in the midst of a world of radical politics and social inequality. We see the attempts of Countess Lovel to justify her claim to her title and the struggles of her daughter Anna as she must choose between a marriage of true love and one of convenience and social profit.
Download Description
Not a word had been heard in Keswick of the proposed return of the old lord -- for the Earl was now an old man -- past his sixtieth year, and in truth with as many signs of age as some men bear at eighty. The life which he had led no doubt had had its allurements, but it is one which hardly admits of a hale and happy evening. Men who make women a prey, prey also on themselves. But there he was, back at Lovel Grange, and no one knew why he had come, nor whence, nor how.
