Janet's Repentance (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161437461)

Janet's Repentance is a novel written by George Eliot, first published in 1857. The book tells the story of Janet Dempster, a woman who has made many mistakes in her life and is now living in a small town in Scotland with her abusive husband. As she struggles to come to terms with her past and present, she meets a young clergyman named Edgar Tryan who helps her find redemption and forgiveness.The novel is set in the mid-19th century and explores themes of religion, morality, and forgiveness. Eliot's writing style is known for its realism and attention to detail, and Janet's Repentance is no exception. The characters are complex and well-developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns that keep readers engaged.Overall, Janet's Repentance is a powerful story of redemption and the power of forgiveness. It is a classic novel that continues to be read and enjoyed by readers today.It is really surprising that young ladies should not be thought competent to the same curriculum as young gentlemen. I observe that their powers of sarcasm are quite equal; and if there had been a genteel academy for young gentlemen at Milby, I am inclined to think that, notwithstanding Euclid and the classics, the party spirit there would not have exhibited itself in more pungent irony, or more incisive satire, than was heard in Miss Townley's seminary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
