He That Will Not When He May Vol. I

Beschreibung

He that will not when he may Vol. I explores the tensions between tradition and change as a family confronts challenges to their established way of life. A noble household enjoys a refined existence until ideological differences disrupt their harmony. The return of a son, accompanied by an outsider with radical beliefs, introduces conflict between generations, as personal convictions clash with societal expectations. The struggle between maintaining status and embracing new perspectives reflects broader social shifts, forcing characters to reevaluate their values. The novel examines the weight of familial duty and the pressures of conformity, highlighting the emotional strain of resisting or accepting change. The contrast between domestic warmth and ideological unrest underscores the complexities of loyalty and self-discovery. As relationships are tested, the question of whether personal ideals can coexist with inherited privilege becomes increasingly urgent. Through moments of quiet reflection and growing discord, the narrative reveals the difficulty of navigating personal identity in a rigid social order.

Autor

Margaret Oliphant was a Scottish author and historical writer who usually wrote under the name Mrs. Oliphant. She was born Margaret Oliphant Wilson on April 4, 1828, and died on June 20, 1897. She writes "domestic realism, the historical novel, and tales of the supernatural" as her short stories. Margaret Oliphant was born in Wallyford, near Musselburgh, East Lothian. She was the only daughter and youngest child still living of Margaret Oliphant (c. 1789 17 September 1854) and Francis W. Wilson, a clerk. We lived in Lasswade, Glasgow, and Liverpool when she was a child. In Wallyford, a street called Oliphant Gardens is named after her. As a girl, she was always trying new things with writing. Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland, her first book, came out in 1849. This was about the mostly successful Scottish Free Church movement, which was something her folks agreed with. Next came Caleb Field in 1851, the same year she met publisher William Blackwood in Edinburgh and was asked to write for Blackwood's Magazine. She did so for the rest of her life and wrote over 100 articles, including one that criticized Arthur Dimmesdale in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter".
