The book follows the lives of two women, one rebellious and unconventional, the other traditional and reserved, as they navigate love, marriage, and morality. Cholmondeley's writing style is characterized by its sharp wit, keen satire, and insightful social commentary. The novel is considered a foundational work in the feminist literary tradition, challenging conventional gender roles and questioning the constraints placed upon women in Victorian society. Through its vivid characters and intricate plot, 'Red Pottage' offers readers a thought-provoking exploration of the struggles and triumphs of women during this period. Mary Cholmondeley, a prolific novelist and social critic, drew inspiration for 'Red Pottage' from her own experiences and observations of the limitations placed on women in her time. Her keen eye for detail and deep understanding of human nature shine through in this compelling work. I highly recommend 'Red Pottage' to readers interested in feminist literature, social history, and engaging storytelling.
Autorenporträt
Mary Cholmondeley (1859-1925) was an English novelist. Born in Shropshire, Cholmondeley was raised in a devoutly religious family. When she wasn't helping her mother at home or her father in his work as a Reverend, she devoted herself to writing stories. Her first novel, The Danvers Jewels (1887), initially appeared in serial form in Temple Bar, earning Cholmondeley a reputation as a popular British storyteller. Red Pottage (1899), considered her masterpiece, was a bestselling novel in England and the United States and has been recognized as a pioneering work of satire that considers such themes as religious hypocrisy and female sexuality.
