Constance, Or The Merchant's Daughter: A Tale Of Our Times is a novel written by John Walker Brown in 1840. The story revolves around the life of Constance, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, who falls in love with a poor artist. However, her father disapproves of their relationship and forces her to marry a wealthy aristocrat. Constance reluctantly agrees to the marriage, but soon realizes that her husband is abusive and cruel. She seeks solace in her love for the artist, and they plan to elope together. However, their plans are foiled, and Constance is left with a difficult decision to make. The novel explores themes of love, class, and societal expectations, and is set against the backdrop of Victorian England. It is a poignant tale of a young woman's struggle to find happiness and fulfillment in a society that values wealth and status over true love and personal happiness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
