Lodore

In the turmoil of our lives. Men are like politic states, or troubled seas. Tossed up and down with several storms and tempests. Change and variety of wrecks and fortunes; Till, labouring to the havens of our homes. We struggle for the calm that crowns our ends.

Notă biografică

Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was the author of five novels and numerous works of short fiction, though she is best known for Frankenstein. The daughter of feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, Shelley was steeped in the progressive ideas of the early-19th-century British Romantic era.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Also published asThe Beautiful Widow, Mary Shelley's penultimate novel explores the web of relationships between three women bound together by the exacting Lord Lodore: his estranged wife, Cornelia, ruled by her mother and the norms of aristocratic society

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Beset by jealousy over an admirer of his wife's, Lord Lodore has come with his daughter Ethel to the American wilderness; his wife Cornelia, meanwhile, has remained with her controlling mother in England. When he finally brings himself to attempt a return, Lodore is killed en route in a duel. Ethel does return to England, and the rest of the book tells the story of her marriage to the troubled and impoverished Villiers (whom she stands by through a variety of tribulations) and her long journey to a reconciliation with her mother.
Lodore's scope of character and of idea is matched by its narrative range and variety of setting; the novel's highly dramatic story-line moves at different points to Italy, to Illinois, and to Niagara Falls. And in this edition, which includes a wealth of documents from the period, the reader is provided with a sense of the full context out of which Shelley's achievement emerged.
