""Lodore"" is a novel written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the author of the famous novel ""Frankenstein"". The story revolves around the lives of a wealthy family, the Fosters, and their struggles with love, marriage, and social expectations. The novel begins with the marriage of Cornelia and Edward, who are deeply in love. However, their happiness is short-lived as Edward's father disapproves of the match and cuts off his financial support. The couple is forced to move to a remote estate called Lodore, where they struggle to make ends meet and raise their children.As the story progresses, the reader is introduced to other members of the Foster family, including Cornelia's father, Lord Lodore, who is a politician struggling to balance his political career with his responsibilities as a father. The novel also explores the relationships between the various characters, including Cornelia's sister, Fanny, and her love interest, Lionel.Throughout the novel, Shelley explores themes of love, marriage, and gender roles in society. She also critiques the social and political systems of her time, highlighting the injustices and inequalities that exist within them.Overall, ""Lodore"" is a thought-provoking and complex novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the societal pressures that shape them.It was, perhaps, strange that Fitzhenry, alive to the smallest evil that might approach his darling child, and devoted to her sole guardianship, should have been blind to the sort of danger which she ran during his absence. But the paternal protection is never entirely efficient. A father avenges an insult; but he has seldom watchfulness enough to prevent it. In the present instance, the extreme youth of Ethel might well serve as an excuse. She was scarcely fifteen; and, light-hearted and blithe, none but childish ideas had found place in her unruffled mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
