Duty, a Novel, Preceded by a Character of the Author by Mrs. Opie

By Amelia Opie and Margaret Wade Roberts

Book Overview

"Duty, a Novel" by Margaret Roberts, preceded by a character sketch of the author by Mrs. Opie, offers readers a compelling glimpse into 19th-century domestic life and the moral complexities faced by women in that era. The novel explores themes of social expectation, personal sacrifice, and the evolving roles of women within the confines of a patriarchal society. Roberts's work resonates with its nuanced portrayal of characters grappling with duty versus desire, making it a thought-provoking read for those interested in historical fiction and the study of societal norms. A classic exploration of virtue and constraint, "Duty" invites readers to reflect on enduring questions of identity and freedom.
