About this eBook

Author Gissing, George, 1857-1903
Title Denzil Quarrier
Credits Produced by Charles Aldarondo. HTML version by Al Haines.
Summary "Denzil Quarrier" by George Gissing is a novel likely written in the late 19th century, during a period known for its exploration of social changes and character studies. The story unfolds in the midst of a societal transition, blending both personal and political themes, and focuses on the lives of its characters, particularly Denzil Quarrier and his wife Lilian. As the narrative begins, it hints at their domestic life and their interactions with others, setting the stage for deeper explorations of character motivations and the societal backdrop against which they live. At the start of the tale, we find a calm, reflective atmosphere in a cozy sitting room where Lilian, engaged in quiet solitude, exhibits a melancholic yet resilient disposition. A telegram from her husband Denzil reveals his delayed return home, provoking her contemplations. The narrative subtly introduces other characters who weave into their lives, including a beggar woman seeking assistance and Denzil's friend, Glazzard, who is embroiled in his own complexities. The dynamics between the characters hint at underlying tensions and shared histories, while the domestic setting reflects upon larger themes of social justice and personal integrity, foreshadowing the intricacies of love, moral dilemmas, and political aspirations to be explored as the story unfolds.
