Victorian Short Stories of Troubled Marriages
This is a selection of five short stories with the common theme of unhappy marriage. As they are all five written during the Victorian era, they give the reader a good picture of what was and was not considered tolerable by social mores in a marriage of that day. For that historical purpose alone, there is much value to reading this collection. Some of the stories are particularly well written as well, though, given the collection even more merit. CONTENTS THE BRONCKHORST DIVORCE-CASE by Rudyard Kipling IRREMEDIABLE by Ella D'Arcy 'A POOR STICK' by Arthur Morrison THE ADVENTURE OF THE ABBEY GRANGE by Arthur Conan Doyle THE PRIZE LODGER by George Gissing
