À propos de cet e-book

E. M. Delafield's "Consequences" presents a compelling exploration of the intricate web of social mores and personal aspirations within the confines of early 20th-century British society. Through the life of its protagonist, the novel unfolds as a poignant critique of gender expectations, revealing the struggles and sacrifices women faced in their pursuit of autonomy. Delafield employs a distinctively sharp, ironic tone, employing vivid characterizations and carefully crafted dialogue that both entertain and provoke thought, an approach characteristic of her wider literary oeuvre'Äîmarkedly reflective of the feminist discourse of her time. E. M. Delafield, a writer and editor immersed in the literary scene of her era, drew inspiration from her own experiences with societal expectations. Born in 1890, her acute awareness of the constraints imposed on women, notably through her educational and familial influences, informs the narrative choices in "Consequences." Delafield's nuanced understanding of character psychology and her empathetic perspective are evidenced throughout the novel, demonstrating her commitment to exploring the emotional landscapes of her protagonists. "Consequences" is an essential read for those captivated by the complexities of feminist literature and social commentary. Delafield'Äôs masterful prose warrants attention from readers seeking both literary depth and an engaging narrative, making the book a significant contribution to early modern women's literature.
