Synopsis

This vintage book is Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward's 1877 novel, "The Story of Avis". It is the story of a woman who is forced to sacrifice her artistic ambitions for the sake of marriage and children. Her husband is ultimately not financially stable enough, and they end up facing serious difficulties. A thought-provoking exploration of masculinity and femininity, "The Story of Avis" will appeal to lovers of nineteenth century gender fiction, and is not to be missed by fans of Ward's wonderful work. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward (1844-1911) was an author and pioneering feminist, famous for challenging traditional gender roles. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

And all I saw was on the sunny ground, The flying shadow of an unseen bird. WHAT was it about her? Coy Bishop at the Poetry Club that night, while a theological student with a cold in his head was declaiming from the second canto, sat perversely wondering. It was becoming to Coy to wonder; she did not very often, being a blonde, with a small mouth and happy eyes. She changed the accent of her thoughts as they pursued her; out of irresistible sympathy, perhaps with the reader, who experienced some elocutionary difficulty in changing his; though, indeed, she found her own revery so much more to the purpose just then than her desire for literary culture, that she conceived a distaste for the 3 young gentleman as a tiresome interruption, and hoped that some of the girls would refuse him before the winter was over.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
