| Summary | "The Hoyden" by Mrs. Hungerford is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the complexities of social status, marriage, and expectations within the British upper class, particularly focusing on the relationship dynamics among Lady Rylton, her son Maurice, and the vivacious heiress Tita Bolton. The book appears to critique societal norms related to marriage, especially the notion of love versus financial security. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to key characters in the drawing-room of The Place, where tension simmers over the prospect of an advantageous marriage for Maurice Rylton. Lady Rylton anxiously advocates for him to marry the wealthy but unrefined Tita Bolton, while Marian Bethune, Lady Rylton's niece, expresses her distaste for the match. The arrival of Tita—a spirited and carefree girl—serves as a focal point for the conflict, as she embodies both youthful charm and a disregard for the constraints of her social position, much to the chagrin of the other women. The opening establishes the contrasting personalities and stakes involved in the unfolding drama, setting the stage for a narrative rich with social commentary and emotional entanglements.
