Author Gissing, George, 1857-1903
Title The Emancipated
Credits Produced by Charles Aldarondo. HTML version by Al Haines.
Summary "The Emancipated" by George Gissing is a novel written in the late 19th century, reflecting on the complexities of modern relationships and societal expectations. The narrative is centered around Miriam Baske, a young English widow living in Naples, who grapples with her past and the pressures of her cultural heritage, as well as the influences of her companions, including her cousin Cecily Doran and the enigmatic artist Ross Mallard. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Miriam as she writes letters, revealing her discontent with both her current life in Naples and the lingering ties to her former home in England. The opening scene sets a tone of introspection and emotional struggle, as Miriam reflects on her isolation amid the beauty of her surroundings. Her upcoming interactions with Cecily and the other characters hint at the themes of personal freedom, societal constraints, and the quest for identity that will unfold throughout the narrative. The dynamics among the characters are already beginning to emerge, establishing a foundation for conflicts rooted in their diverse beliefs and aspirations.
