Delia Blanchflower is a novel written by Mrs. Humphry Ward. It was first published in 1890 and is set in the late 19th century England. The story revolves around the life of the main protagonist, Delia Blanchflower, who is a young woman from a wealthy family. Delia is a talented artist who is passionate about her work and desires to pursue her dreams.However, her life takes a turn when she falls in love with a man named Robert Grieve, who is a struggling artist. Delia's family disapproves of their relationship, and they are forced to part ways. Delia's family arranges for her to marry a wealthy man named Sir George L'Estrange, who is also interested in her art.Delia is torn between her duty to her family and her desire to pursue her passion. She struggles to find a balance between her personal and professional life, and the novel explores the challenges she faces along the way. The story also delves into themes of love, duty, and the role of women in society.Overall, Delia Blanchflower is a compelling novel that offers a glimpse into the life of a young woman in Victorian England and the struggles she faces in pursuing her dreams. It is a timeless story that continues to resonate with readers today.As he almost ran to the station he was not conscious however of any of these small discomforts; his mind was full of Delia. He did not encourage anyone but Madeleine Tonbridge to talk to him about his ward; but he was already quite aware, before his old friend laid stress on it, of the hostile feeling towards Delia and her chaperon that was beginning to show itself in the neighbourhood. He knew that she was already pronounced heartless, odious, unprincipled, consumed with a love of notoriety, and ready for any violence, at the bidding of a woman who was probably responsible at that very moment--as a prominent organiser in the employ of the society contriving them--for some of the worst of the militant outrages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
