Synopsis

The World's Own is a novel written by Julia Ward Howe and published in 1857. The story is set in the mid-19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Sybil who is struggling to find her place in the world. Sybil is a talented artist, but her father disapproves of her passion and wants her to marry a wealthy man instead. As Sybil navigates the challenges of societal expectations and her own desires, she meets a variety of characters who shape her journey. These include a group of artists and intellectuals who encourage her creativity, a wealthy suitor who offers her financial security but little else, and a young man who captures her heart but is not of her social class. Throughout the novel, Howe explores themes of class, gender, and artistic expression. She also critiques the rigid social norms of the time and advocates for women's rights and independence. The World's Own is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the complexities of life in the mid-19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist literature, historical fiction, or the art world of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
