A Novel of Provincial Dissent

Sinopsis
Complete and unabridged, with 55 full-page plates by Richard Redgrave, George Morland and Thomas Lawrence. A fifteen-year-old dressmakers apprentice is seduced and abandoned, and a dissenting minister and his sister take her in and pass her off as a widow — a lie that must eventually be paid for by someone. Gaskell, a Manchester ministers wife, published this in 1853; readers burned it, two men in her husbands congregation forbade their wives to read it, and she wrote that she felt like St Sebastian. It is the first English novel to treat a fallen woman as a person. Fifty-five plates of painting, from Gainsborough to Munch, follow the books themes of abandonment and shelter through The Outcast, winter nights, and harvest fields.
