Summary "Gloria: A Novel" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The story initially follows Gloria de la Vera, a young heiress seeking to escape her oppressive home environment, as she makes an unprecedented marriage proposal to David Lindsay, a humble fisherman. This unexpected pairing sets the stage for themes of romance, class disparity, and personal redemption. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Gloria, who, despite her wealth and beauty, is driven by desperation to ask David to marry her. The setting—a bleak yet evocative promontory on the Maryland coast—serves as a backdrop for the complex emotional landscapes of its characters. As Gloria navigates a tumultuous domestic life with her uncle and aunt, the dynamics between her, the fisherman David, and the troubled relationship of her relatives promise a rich exploration of human emotions and societal expectations. The opening chapters establish a tone of urgency and foreboding, indicating that Gloria's path will be fraught with challenges as she seeks both love and personal freedom.
