Synopsis

The Divine Fire is a historical fiction novel written by May Sinclair. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Judith Earle. Judith is a talented composer and pianist who is struggling to find her place in a society that doesn't take women seriously in the arts.As she works to establish herself as a serious musician, Judith becomes involved with a group of artists and intellectuals who are exploring new ideas and pushing the boundaries of convention. Among them is the charismatic and enigmatic Edward Clodd, who becomes both a mentor and a source of romantic attraction for Judith.As their relationship deepens, Judith finds herself drawn into a web of passion, creativity, and spiritualism that threatens to consume her. She becomes increasingly obsessed with the idea of the ""divine fire"" - the creative spark that fuels artistic genius - and begins to believe that she has been chosen to receive it.As the novel unfolds, Judith's beliefs and relationships are put to the test, and she must confront the consequences of her choices. The Divine Fire is a captivating exploration of art, love, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Horace Jewdwine had made the most remarkable of his many remarkable discoveries. At least he thought he had. He could not be quite sure, which was his excuse for referring it to his cousin Lucia, whose instinct (he would not call it judgement) in these matters was infallible—strangely infallible for so young a girl. What, he wondered, would she say to Savage Keith Rickman? On Saturday, when he first came down into Devonshire, he would have been glad to know. But to-day, which was a Tuesday, he was not interested in Rickman. To eat strawberries all morning; to lie out in the hammock all afternoon, under the beach-tree on the lawn of Court House; to let the peace of the old green garden sink into him; to look at Lucia and forget, utterly forget, about his work (the making of discoveries), that was what he wanted. But Lucia wanted to talk, and to talk about Rickman earnestly as if he were a burning question, when even lying in the hammock Jewdwine was so hot that it bothered him to talk at all.
