Publisher's Synopsis
The Sorrows of Gentility V2 is a novel written by Geraldine Endsor Jewsbury and published in 1856. It is the second volume of a two-part series that explores the lives and struggles of women in Victorian England. The novel follows the story of a young woman named Agatha who is forced to leave her home and family due to financial difficulties. Agatha finds work as a governess, but her position is precarious and she struggles to maintain her independence and dignity in a society that values wealth and status above all else. Along the way, she meets a variety of characters, including other governesses, aristocrats, and members of the working class, each with their own struggles and challenges. The novel is a poignant exploration of the limitations and injustices faced by women in the 19th century, and a powerful critique of the rigid class system that defined Victorian society.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
