A Simple Story de Elizabeth Inchbald

A Simple Story

Autor Elizabeth Inchbald Editat de J. M. S. Tompkins Introducere de Jane Spencer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mai 2009
When Miss Milner announces her passion for her guardian, a Catholic priest, she breaks through the double barrier of religious vocation and society's standards of `proper' womanly behaviour. Her love is legitimized when Dorriforth is released from his vows, but she finds her own unorthodox nature cannot conform to a marriage where her husband continues to be a stern moral guide. With a surenees of touch that prefigures Jane Austen, Elizabeth Inchbald shows that there is no simple answer to their predicament, and that their conflict can only be resolved in the next generation.
