E-text prepared by Al Haines "Miriam's Schooling and Other Papers" by Mark Rutherford is a collection of literary essays and stories written in the late 19th century. The work explores the themes of individuality, societal norms, and moral dilemmas through the lens of its main character, Miriam, who navigates her upbringing in a small English town. The collection delves into the complexities of human relationships and the struggles of self-identity against a backdrop of conventionality. The opening of the narrative introduces Giacomo Tacchi, a watchmaker, alongside his daughter, Miriam. Set in the town of Cowfold, the text paints a picture of Giacomo's modest life and his affection for Miriam, who showcases a unique blend of rebelliousness and compassion. As Miriam develops, her distinct perspective leads her to challenge societal expectations, particularly in discussions concerning a local figure, Mr. Cutts, who is rumored to be involved in arson. This situation prompts her to grapple with ideas of justice and morality, revealing her empathetic nature and hinting at her deeper journey of self-discovery. The beginning effectively sets the stage for the exploration of Miriam's character and the broader themes of the collection.
