Produktbeschreibung

Leonard Merrick's novel, 'Cynthia,' delves into the complexities of love, ambition, and societal expectations in late 19th century England. The story follows the titular character, Cynthia, as she navigates the challenges of finding her place in a rigidly structured society while grappling with her own desires and aspirations. Merrick's prose is characterized by its rich imagery and keen insights into human nature, making 'Cynthia' a compelling read that offers a profound exploration of the human experience amidst the constraints of Victorian society. The novel's exploration of themes such as class, gender roles, and individual agency adds depth to the narrative, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives and choices. Leonard Merrick, a prolific English writer known for his realism and psychological depth, drew inspiration from his own observations of the societal norms and expectations of his time, shaping 'Cynthia' into a poignant and thought-provoking work of literature. I highly recommend 'Cynthia' to readers who appreciate nuanced character studies and compelling narratives that offer a glimpse into the complexities of human relationships and societal pressures.

Autorenporträt

Leonard Merrick was an English novelist. Although virtually forgotten now, Merrick was highly regarded by his colleagues; J. M. Barrie dubbed him the "novelist's novelist." Leonard Miller was born in Belsize Park, London, to Jewish parents. After attending Brighton College, he studied to be a solicitor at Brighton and law in Heidelberg, but he was obliged to fly to South Africa at the age of eighteen due to his father's serious financial loss. He worked as an overseer at the Kimberley diamond mine and in a solicitor's office. After surviving a near-fatal attack of "camp fever," he returned to London in the late 1880s, where he worked as an actor and manager under the stage name Leonard Merrick. Merrick was well recognized by other writers of his time. In 1918, fifteen writers, including well-known authors such as H. G. Wells, J. M. Barrie, G. K. Chesterton, and William Dean Howells, teamed with publisher E. P. Dutton to release The Works of Leonard Merrick in fifteen volumes, which were released between 1918 and 1922. Each volume in the series was picked and prefaced by one of the authors. In 2009, William Baker and Jeannettes Robert Shumaker published a biography titled Leonard Merrick: A Forgotten Novelist's Novelist.
