Omschrijving

Marriage a la Mode is a novel written by Mrs. Humphry Ward, first published in 1884. The story revolves around the lives of two young people, Julian and Isabel Rivers, who are married for convenience rather than love. Julian, a struggling artist, marries Isabel, a wealthy heiress, in order to secure his financial future. However, their marriage soon turns out to be a disaster as they have little in common and their expectations from each other are vastly different. As the story progresses, we see how their marriage deteriorates further due to the interference of their families and friends. Julian's artistic aspirations clash with Isabel's social ambitions, and they both struggle to find a middle ground. The novel also explores the themes of class, gender roles, and the societal expectations of marriage in the late 19th century.Throughout the book, Mrs. Humphry Ward provides a sharp commentary on the institution of marriage and the societal norms that govern it. She also portrays the struggles of women in a patriarchal society and the limitations imposed on them. Overall, Marriage a la Mode is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the complexities of marriage and relationships. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers even today.1909. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was immortalized as a character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. The book begins: A stifling hot day! General Hobson lifted his hat and mopped his forehead indignantly. What on earth this place can be like in June I can't conceive! The tenth of April, and I'll be bound the thermometer's somewhere near eighty in the shade. You never find the English climate playing you these tricks. Roger Barnes looked at his uncle with amusement. Don't you like heat, Uncle Archie? Ah, but I forgot, it's American heat.
