| Summary | "Fräulein Schmidt and Mr. Anstruther" by Elizabeth Von Arnim is a romantic novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the emotional journey of Rose-Marie Schmidt, a young woman living in Jena, as she grapples with her feelings for Roger Anstruther, an Englishman who has spent a year in her family’s home learning German. With its epistolary format, the book explores themes of love, societal expectations, and personal identity, capturing Rose-Marie's introspective reflections and growing awareness of her feelings. At the start of the narrative, Rose-Marie writes a series of letters to Roger following their recent romantic engagement, filled with her thoughts, insecurities, and revelations about love. Her letters oscillate between joy and doubt as she contemplates the implications of their engagement, particularly regarding her lack of financial means and the weight of her step-mother's disapproval. Throughout these letters, Rose-Marie vividly describes her surroundings in Jena, her feelings of awakening to love, and her fears of societal judgment, revealing her internal struggle with self-worth and her uncertainty about their future together. The opening portion effectively sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their relationship and the challenges they face as they navigate their worlds.
