Infos

In "Moth and Rust; Together with Geoffrey's Wife and The Pitfall," Mary Cholmondeley presents a trio of compelling narratives that delve into the complexities of human relationships, morality, and societal expectations. Cholmondeley'Äôs literary style is characterized by its rich characterization and nuanced psychological insight, which reflects the late Victorian literary context in which she wrote. The collection intricately weaves together themes of desire, disillusionment, and the impact of social conventions, providing readers with a vivid portrait of Edwardian life, marked by contrasting views on gender and romance. Mary Cholmondeley (1859-1925) was a prominent novelist and advocate for women's rights, navigating a male-dominated literary landscape.

This collection is a must-read for those interested in exploring the intersection of gender dynamics and moral philosophy in literature.
