Doomsday: An Interwar Rural England Romance of Class, Property, and Moral Choice - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Warwick Deeping's Doomsday is an interwar novel of rural England in which romance, property, and moral choice converge with quiet dramatic force. Centred on Mary Viner's divided loyalties between emotional truth and material security, the book uses the familiar structures of pastoral love story and social melodrama to examine class aspiration, possessiveness, and the cost of compromise. Deeping's prose is lucid, pictorial, and emotionally direct, placing him within the popular yet serious middlebrow tradition of the 1920s. Deeping, born in 1877 and trained as a physician, served in the Royal Army Medical Corps during the First World War before becoming one of Britain's most widely read novelists. His medical background, wartime experience, and sustained interest in endurance, sacrifice, and social respectability shaped much of his fiction. Following the success of Sorrell and Son, he turned repeatedly to characters tested by hardship, pride, and longing. Doomsday is recommended to readers interested in English social fiction, interwar emotional realism, and novels that treat romance as a serious ethical problem. It offers a compelling portrait of desire under pressure from class, money, and conscience.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 'Doomsday', Warwick Deeping crafts a poignant narrative that intertwines personal tragedy with the broader specter of societal upheaval. Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous era, Deeping employs a lyrical yet incisive prose style, making use of vivid imagery and rich characterization. This novel navigates the existential dread and moral dilemmas faced by its characters, reflecting the anxieties of a post-war society grappling with industrialization and the loss of traditional values. The plot intricately weaves themes of love, betrayal, and redemption, calling into question the fragility of human existence in a rapidly changing world. Warwick Deeping, a notable novelist of the early 20th century, drew on his own experiences and observations of the societal shifts of his time. Born in 1877, Deeping was not only a writer but also a physician, providing him with a unique lens through which to examine the human condition. His earlier works often addressed the struggles of individual lives against the backdrop of societal forces, and 'Doomsday' reflects this enduring preoccupation with the complexities of human relationships set in turbulent times. This evocative novel is recommended for readers interested in historical fiction that delves into the psychological and societal implications of crisis. Deeping's nuanced portrayal of his characters and their plights invites reflection on the resilience of the human spirit.
