Description

""Tomorrow"" is a novel written by Maria Edgeworth, first published in 1835. The story revolves around the lives of two young women, Lady Caroline and Lady Emily, who are cousins and best friends. Lady Caroline is a beautiful and wealthy young woman who is used to getting what she wants, while Lady Emily is kind-hearted and gentle, but not as fortunate in terms of wealth and status. The novel explores the themes of love, marriage, class, and social conventions in 19th century England. Lady Caroline is determined to marry for money and status, while Lady Emily falls in love with a young man named Lord Osborne, who is not of the same social standing as her. As the story unfolds, the two women face challenges and obstacles in their pursuit of love and happiness.Edgeworth's writing is characterized by her wit, humor, and social commentary. She uses the novel as a platform to critique the societal norms of her time, particularly the pressure placed on women to marry for financial gain rather than love. Overall, ""Tomorrow"" is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers insights into the social and cultural landscape of 19th century England. It is a must-read for anyone interested in historical fiction, romance, and social commentary.The motive was powerful, sufficiently powerful to conquer the force of inveterate habit. I applied resolutely to business, and supported the credit which my father's punctuality had obtained from his customers. During the course of six entire months, I am not conscious of having neglected or delayed to do anything of consequence that I ought to have done except whetting my razor. My aunt Lowe faithfully kept her word with me, and took every opportunity of representing, in the most favourable manner to my uncle, the reformation that love had wrought in my character.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
