Summary

In "Elizabeth's Campaign," Mrs. Humphry Ward presents a compelling narrative that intricately weaves the personal struggles and political ambitions of its protagonist, Elizabeth. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the novel delves into themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the complexities of political activism. Ward employs a rich, descriptive prose style, revealing the inner workings of Elizabeth's mind while immersing readers in the vibrant social milieu of the time. This work not only reflects contemporary feminist ideals but also serves as a critique of the entrenched patriarchal systems of the era, making it a significant contribution to the literary landscape of its time. Mrs. Humphry Ward, a prominent figure in the Edwardian literary scene, was known for her intelligent and socially aware writing. Her own experiences as a woman thriving in a male-dominated society undoubtedly informed her portrayal of Elizabeth, as Ward's life was marked by her fervent commitment to social reform and women's rights. Her extensive network within the realms of literature and politics also provided her with unique insights into the challenges faced by women aspiring to assert their agency in both public and private spheres. "Elizabeth's Campaign" is highly recommended for readers interested in feminist literature, historical fiction, and character-driven narratives that explore the intersections of personal ambition and societal constraints. Ward's nuanced exploration of Elizabeth's journey will resonate with contemporary audiences, inviting them to reflect on the evolution of women's roles in society. Engaging and thought-provoking, this novel is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of female empowerment.

    The Booker Prize–winning author of The Sea re-creates the life of the Renaissance mathematical genius Johannes Kepler and his incredible drive to chart the orbits of the planets and the geometry of the universe.Johannes Kepler, born in 1571 in southern Germany, was one of the world’s greatest mathematicians and astronomers. The novel Kepler by John Banville brilliantly re-creates his life and his work, which laid the foundation of the universe even while he was being driven from exile to exile by religious and domestic strife. At the same time, it illuminates the harsh realities of the Renaissance world, rich in imaginative daring but rooted in poverty, squalor and the tyrannical power of emperors."What Banville writes is historically accurate, but his [are] a novelist's truth, and…a lover's prose." —Newsweek
