Synopsis

What happens when a woman is brought up in isolation, away from the rest of the world? When her imagination is allowed to run riot without the benefit of learning and knowledge? And what happens when
a woman rejects such an 'education' in favour of more forbidden fruits?
Eliza Fen wick's gothic novel was first published in 1795. It explores through the letters between two young women, the effects of their very different upbringings. It warns against excessive sentiment
and the romantic daydreams women were
encouraged to amuse themselves with; it paints a
bleak picture of the dissatisfaction of women's lives,
of secrecy and betrayal, but points to friendship
between women as precious and prized, the only
solace in a threatening male world. The two women
in Secresy, one of whom lives in a secluded castle,
find their happiest moments in writing to each other
and in openly expressing an affection that seems
impossible in any other relationship.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
