Omschrijving

Worse Than Death: A Tale is a novel written by Harriet Power and originally published in 1864. The story is set in Victorian England and follows the life of a young woman named Mary, who is forced into a loveless marriage with a wealthy but cruel man. As Mary struggles to cope with her miserable existence, she becomes increasingly isolated and desperate, and eventually turns to opium to escape her pain.The novel explores themes of love, marriage, gender roles, and addiction, and offers a bleak and unflinching portrait of life for women in the 19th century. Power's writing is vivid and atmospheric, and she creates a haunting and unforgettable world that is both beautiful and terrible.Despite its dark subject matter, Worse Than Death is a powerful and important work of literature that remains relevant today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Victorian literature, women's history, or the social and cultural issues of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
