The Human Desire (1913)

By Violet Irwin

Book Overview

The Human Desire is a novel written by Violet Mary Irwin and published in 1913. The book follows the life of a young woman named Eunice, who is torn between her desire for love and her desire for independence. Eunice is a modern woman who wants to live life on her own terms, but she is also deeply in love with a man named John, who wants her to conform to traditional gender roles.As Eunice struggles to reconcile her conflicting desires, she finds herself drawn into a web of social expectations and gender norms that threaten to suffocate her. Along the way, she encounters a cast of characters who represent different aspects of society, including a wealthy socialite, a suffragette, and a working-class woman.Through Eunice's journey, Irwin explores themes of love, desire, gender roles, and social expectations. The book is a powerful critique of the constraints placed on women in early 20th century society, and it offers a nuanced portrayal of the complex and often contradictory nature of human desire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
