Beschreibung

In "What She Could," Susan Warner intricately weaves a narrative that delves into the complexities of women's roles in the 19th century, exploring themes of agency, societal expectation, and the struggle for autonomy within restrictive frameworks. Through her poignant characterizations and vivid prose, Warner captures the tension between personal desires and societal pressures, portraying the lives of women who grapple with their potential amid overwhelming constraints. The novel's literary style resonates with the realism favored in her era, utilizing an accessible yet evocative language that invites readers to empathize with its characters and reflect on the broader societal implications of their choices. Susan Warner, an influential figure in American literature, was known for her commitment to addressing social issues, particularly those affecting women. Growing up in a progressive household that valued education and self-expression, Warner was deeply inspired by the lives of women around her and their struggles for recognition and independence. These experiences, coupled with her involvement in the literary circles of her time, profoundly shaped the compelling narrative presented in "What She Could," guiding her to explore and critique the restrictive norms imposed on women in society. This novel is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist literature and the historical context of women's rights in America. Warner's profound insights and emotional depth not only resonate with contemporary audiences but also provide a critical lens through which to understand the enduring challenges women face. Engaging, thought-provoking, and beautifully written, "What She Could" offers readers both a captivating story and a meaningful exploration of female empowerment.

    Guided by his mother's visions and committed to avenging his family, Prince Titus has sworn to protect Iolanthe even as he prepares her for their battle with the Bane. But he makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end.

    Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.
