Sinopse

Maria Edgeworth's "Patronage" unfolds a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of early 19th-century England, exploring the intricacies of social class, personal ambition, and the influence of patronage on individual lives. Through a blend of sharp wit and astute observation, Edgeworth employs a rich, dialogic style that illuminates the moral dilemmas faced by her characters. The novel's structure reflects the conventions of the time, combining elements of realism and romanticism while critiquing the societal norms that dictate relationships and opportunities for advancement. This literary work serves as both a significant commentary on the power dynamics of its era and a precursor to the complex character development found in later Victorian novels. Maria Edgeworth, an Irish novelist and educationalist, was a notable figure in the early development of the novel as a form. Born to a wealthy Anglo-Irish family, she was acutely aware of the privileges and restrictions of her social class. Her experiences and education provided her with a keen insight into the intricacies of patronage and social mobility, significant themes that resonate throughout "Patronage." Edgeworth's commitment to social reform and her interest in educational access for women also influenced her writing, positioning her as a forward-thinking voice in literature. "Patronage" is highly recommended for readers interested in the interplay of personal and political spheres during the Regency period. Edgeworth'Äôs keen observations and vibrant characterizations breathe life into a story that remains relevant today. This novel not only captivates but also challenges its audience to reflect on the nature of influence and societal structures, making it an essential read for scholars and literary enthusiasts alike.

Kipps

First published in 1905 Kipps soon became H.G Wells’ most popular novel. It is a rags to riches story of a “simple soul” Arthur Kipps, a naïve young man who finds himself suddenly struggling to keep afloat in the deep waters of unlooked for wealth. He reaches out to those he considers his betters to anchor himself in this new world, so far removed from his relatively humble life of apprentice to a Draper. 
  
Young Kipps is quick to abandon his first love Ann for the allure of Helen Walsingham, whom he feels is more the match for the inevitable rise in his status which must surely follow his new found wealth. 
  
Wells lets the obviously humorous side of the situation naturally unfold, whilst subtly framing Kipps’ rise and fall in the context of the hypocrisies and futilities of Edwardian English society. 
Narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
