More about the book
Set against the backdrop of agrarian life, the narrative follows George Delmont's quest for knowledge, deeply intertwined with his love for Medora Glenmorris and her mother, Laura. The novel juxtaposes personal suffering with the idealism of the French Revolution and glimpses of American life, revealing the limitations of philosophical enlightenment in combating societal corruption in England. As a significant work by Charlotte Smith, it marks a shift toward political themes, influencing later novelists like Austen and Dickens while foreshadowing the gothic elements of the Romantic period.
