Verdant Green, Married and Done For is a novel written by Cuthbert Bede and published in 1857. It is the third and final part of the Adventures of Verdant Green, which follows the misadventures of a young Oxford freshman named Verdant Green. In this installment, Verdant has graduated from Oxford and has married his sweetheart, Fanny. However, their marriage is not a happy one, as they are constantly bickering and fighting. Verdant becomes disillusioned with his life and career prospects, and he begins to question his choices. As the novel progresses, Verdant's fortunes take a turn for the worse. He loses his job and is forced to sell his possessions to make ends meet. His marriage deteriorates even further, and he begins to drink heavily. Despite the bleakness of Verdant's situation, the novel is written in a humorous and satirical tone. Bede uses the character of Verdant to poke fun at the social and cultural norms of Victorian England, particularly the expectations placed on young men of the upper class. Overall, Verdant Green, Married and Done For is a witty and entertaining novel that offers a glimpse into the life of a young man in 19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
