| Description: |
This is the story of two educated and independent sisters, Clara and Madge Hopgood, who defy convention. Madge becomes pregnant, but her courage, and Clara's heroism, win through. This study edition contains both the text and a commentary upon it. |
| Synopsis: |
'Mark Rutherford'is the pseudonym of William Hale White(1831-1913),who worked briefly for the WESTMINSTER REVIEW,where he met George Eliot,before becoming a civil servant.He continued to supplement his income with parliamentary and literaryjournalism,and incorporated his political and social concerns in fiction such asthe ground-breaking,proto-feminist novel CLARA HOPGOOD.In CLARA HOPGOOD the education and 'modern' notions of two sisters oblige them to confront society's preconceived ideas about morality,and to forge for themselves a place in a community initially unreceptive to the way in which the girls choose to live their lives. |
