Mildred Arkell: A Novel. Vol. 2 (of 3) by Mrs. Henry Wood
"Mildred Arkell: A Novel" by Mrs. Henry Wood is a Victorian-era novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Henry Arkell, a college boy who is in love with Georgina Beauclerc, the daughter of a respected dean. As their youthful affections unfold, the narrative introduces themes of social class, ambition, and the complexities of romantic relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a hot July evening
where Henry Arkell is at the Bishop's Garden, yearning to see Georgina. The setting establishes a vibrant yet exclusive social world, as Henry is initially barred from entering due to his status as a college boy. However, with the bishop's help, he gains entry and finds himself alone with Georgina. Their interaction reveals Henry’s deep feelings for Georgina, who appears to enjoy his company but is indifferent to his affections. The story hints at both the social challenges they face and the emotional turmoil brewing beneath their seemingly lighthearted exchanges. Meanwhile, the subplot involving Mr. Dundyke introduces elements of ambition and mystery, as his unchecked aspirations and personal mishaps unfold during a trip abroad, complicating the broader narrative of ambition versus romance.
