Beschreibung

The Coming of the Tide is a novel written by Margaret Pollock Sherwood in 1905. The story is set in a small town on the coast of Maine, where the arrival of a wealthy summer resident causes upheaval in the lives of the local residents. The novel explores themes of class, love, and societal expectations as the characters navigate their relationships with each other and with the newcomer. The protagonist, a young woman named Judith, struggles to reconcile her own desires with the expectations placed upon her as a member of the town's elite. Meanwhile, the wealthy newcomer, Mr. Davenant, finds himself drawn to Judith and must grapple with the consequences of his attraction to a woman from a different social class. Through the interactions of these characters and others in the town, Sherwood paints a vivid portrait of a community in flux, grappling with the changes brought about by the shifting tides of society. The Coming of the Tide is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the impact of societal expectations on individual lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Margaret Pollock Sherwood was an American author of books, short stories, poems, and essays. She was born November 1, 1864, and died September 24, 1955. She was born in Ballston, New York, on November 1, 1864. She was the sister of Mary Sherwood. She graduated from a private boarding school in Newburgh, New York, where she went to high school, and from Vassar College in 1886. Following a semester at the University of Zurich in 1888, she went on to study at the University of Oxford for another semester. From 1889 until her retirement in 1931, she taught English at Wellesley College. She got her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1898 and her Doctor of Letters from New York University in 1920. She taught part-time at the University Extension of Columbia University for a number of years. Publishing her first book under the name "Elizabeth Hastings" (1895, Macmillan), many people wondered who the real author was.
