| Summary | "A Noble Name; or, Dönninghausen" by Claire von Glümer is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Johanna, the daughter of a famous actor, as she navigates the complex dynamics of family, artistic ambition, and societal expectations after her father's death. With themes of love, disappointment, and identity woven into her journey, Johanna confronts her relationships with her stepmother, her little sister Lisbeth, and her estranged grandfather, all while grappling with her aspirations as a performer. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Johanna and her family in a richly furnished home filled with tension. The delicate balance of familial roles is illustrated through her interactions with her stepmother, who shows little regard for Johanna’s artistic ambitions, and her father's imposing presence as an established actor. In the midst of familial discord, Johanna yearns for acceptance and understanding, especially with the arrival of her cousin Ludwig, who presents a contrasting view of life and the stage. As the story unfolds, themes of identity and belonging become central, foreshadowing Johanna's struggle for recognition and love in a world that often feels foreign and unwelcoming.
