Summary "A New Aristocracy" by Alice E. Bartlett is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Margaret Murchison, a determined young woman who finds herself suddenly responsible for her family after the death of her father, a rector. As she navigates life in a small village, surrounded by challenges, she also grapples with the impact of poverty on her family's future while maintaining her ideals and dignity. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the sorrowful context of Mr. Murchison's death and the subsequent reactions of the villagers, who express concern for his orphaned children. Margaret, the eldest daughter, emerges as a strong and resourceful character who pledges to care for her younger siblings. Despite the overwhelming grief, she resolves to keep her family together and uphold the values her father instilled in them. The narrative presents her initial interactions with townsfolk, highlighting her determination to remain independent and the choices she makes in response to their offers of pity or assistance. This opening portion sets the stage for her journey of self-discovery and growth against the backdrop of societal expectations and personal ambition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
