| Summary |
"Margery (Gred): A Tale Of Old Nuremberg — Volume 01" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely penned in the late 19th century. The narrative introduces us to the life of Margery Schopper, a woman from 15th-century Nuremberg, and offers a rich tapestry of her family history, societal norms, and personal experiences as she navigates childhood and the complexities of her upbringing. The opening of the story sets the stage for Margery’s life, recounting her childhood as an orphan raised by her cousin Maud in a well-connected family. The narrative is steeped in vivid descriptions of Margery's familial and social landscape, revealing her longing for maternal affection and the deep bonds with her brothers and cousin. Margery reflects on her happy childhood moments, despite the absence of her parents, and the love and care provided by Maud. As she grows, the story hints at her engagement with the social dynamics of Nuremberg, her education, and the friendships that blossom amid the tensions of class and familial expectations.
