""An Evil Motherhood: An Impressionist Novel"" is a work of fiction written by Walt Ruding and originally published in 1896. The novel is set in the late 19th century and tells the story of a young woman named Mary who becomes a mother. However, Mary's motherhood is far from conventional, as she becomes increasingly obsessed with her child and begins to exhibit erratic and disturbing behavior.As the novel progresses, Mary's behavior becomes more and more extreme, leading those around her to question her sanity and the safety of her child. The story is told in an impressionistic style, with Ruding using vivid and often surreal imagery to convey the intensity of Mary's emotions and experiences.Throughout the novel, Ruding explores themes of motherhood, mental illness, and the societal expectations placed on women during this time period. The novel is a haunting and unsettling exploration of the dark side of motherhood, and a reflection on the ways in which societal pressures can push individuals to the brink of madness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
