Description
Philothea is a novel written by Lydia Maria Child, first published in 1836. The story is set in Boston in the early 19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Philothea, who is trying to find her place in society and live a meaningful life. Philothea is a devout Christian and struggles with the conflict between her desire for spiritual fulfillment and her obligations to her family and society. She is also torn between her love for a young man named Ernest and her duty to marry a wealthy and influential man chosen by her family. Throughout the novel, Philothea faces various challenges and obstacles, including illness, financial difficulties, and social pressure. She finds solace in her faith and her relationships with other women, particularly her friend and mentor, Mrs. Elinor. Philothea is a story of self-discovery, faith, and the struggle to balance personal desires with societal expectations. It is also a commentary on the role of women in society and the limitations placed on them during the time period in which it was written.The travellers descended from their chariots to rest under the shadow of the lofty plane trees, and refresh themselves with a draught from the fountain. The public road was thronged with people on their way to Olympia. Most of them drove with renewed eagerness to enter Corinth before the evening twilight; for nearly all travellers made it a point to visit the remarkable scenes in this splendid and voluptuous city, the Paris of the ancient world. A few were attracted by the cool murmuring of the waters, and turned aside to the fountain of Poseidon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
