My Flirtations

By Ella Hepworth Dixon

Book Overview

My Flirtations is a novel written by Ella Hepworth Dixon, first published in 1898. The story revolves around the protagonist, Mildred Lawson, a young woman who is trying to navigate through the social norms and expectations of Victorian society. Mildred is a beautiful and charming woman who enjoys the attention and admiration of men, but she is also intelligent and independent, which sets her apart from the typical women of her time.As the story progresses, Mildred finds herself in various romantic situations with different men, including a wealthy businessman, a bohemian artist, and a charming aristocrat. She is torn between her desire for love and her fear of losing her independence and freedom. Along the way, she learns valuable lessons about love, relationships, and the importance of being true to oneself.The novel is a commentary on the restrictive and oppressive nature of Victorian society, particularly for women. It also explores themes of gender roles, class differences, and the struggle for self-expression and individuality. Dixon's writing is witty, insightful, and engaging, making My Flirtations a timeless classic that still resonates with readers today.In the dining-room the prim, thin Chippendale furniture was ranged against a pale-coloured wall, while the round table, with its fine damask and Georgian silver, and the soft lamplight illumining a great bowl of flowers, was somehow suggestive of brilliant talk and dainty fare. But Mr. Clancy was always modest about his possessions. 'It's so sweet of you to like my things, ' he would say deprecatingly to some fashionable lady who was going round his rooms sniffing up ideas. 'I never care for anything I have. It's so good of you to like my poor little cottage.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
