Beskrivelse
Under the pen name Mrs. Humphry Ward, Mary Augusta Ward wrote the book "Fenwick's Career." The 1906 novel delves on subjects such as marriage, societal transformation, and the conflict between individual aspirations and conventional norms. Gilbert Fenwick, an accomplished and driven attorney, and his spouse, Lady Rose Fenwick, are the central characters of the narrative. Lady Rose finds herself debating her own goals and objectives as Gilbert grows more preoccupied with his work and public persona. In a culture that frequently places a premium on traditional roles and expectations, the story depicts the difficulties and sacrifices that people-women in particular-face. "Fenwick's Career" explores the conflicts between responsibility and personal fulfilment against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, illuminating the changing status of women and the effects of society conventions on people. The protagonists provide a detailed examination of the shifting dynamics of marriage and gender roles in the context of the time by navigating complicated relationships and cultural expectations.
