Author Fenn, George Manville, 1831-1909
Title Lady Maude's Mania
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "Lady Maude's Mania" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Lady Maude Diphoos and her family, particularly focusing on her impending marriage and the dynamics within her aristocratic household. The narrative explores themes of love, social expectations, and family pressures, setting up conflicts between the wishes of the characters and the constraints of their societal roles. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the eccentric Earl of Barmouth and his son, Viscount Diphoos, who are in a state of anxious anticipation for Lady Maude's wedding. Conversations between the characters reveal their personalities, with the earl displaying a blend of humor and frailty, while Tom expresses both concern for his father's well-being and cynicism regarding societal conventions. The tension rises as Lady Maude struggles with her emotions about the marriage, hinting at deeper undercurrents of love and resistance, particularly when it comes to her feelings for another suitor, Charley Melton. This captivating start lays a rich framework for exploring how love and duty clash within the lives of the characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
