Ruth

Autor Elizabeth Gaskell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2008
RUTH (1853) by Elizabeth Gaskell is a compassionate story of a young woman seduced by a gentleman. Ruth Hilton is a gently tragic Victorian heroine, the fallen woman who redeems herself by a life of charity, after she is taken in by a pastor and his family and given the veneer of respectability. But it is Ruth's own inner strength of heart, deeds, and moral standing that ultimately reaffirm her.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'I think I must be an improper woman without knowing it, I do so manage to shock people.'Elizabeth Gaskell's second novel challenged contemporary social attitudes by taking as its heroine a fallen woman. Ruth Hilton is an orphan and an overworked seamstress, an innocent preyed upon by a weak, wealthy seducer. When he heartlessly abandons her she finds shelter and kindness in the home of a dissenting minister and his sister, who do not reject her when she gives birth to an illegitimate child. But Ruth's self-sacrificing love and devotion are tested to the limit by a twist of fate that brings her past back to haunt her.Gaskell's depiction of Ruth lays bare Victorian hypocrisy and sexual double-standards, and her novel is a remarkable story of love, of the sanctuary and tyranny of the family, and of the consequences of lies and deception.
