Summary: "Robert Elsmere" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of faith, societal change, and interpersonal relationships, particularly through the lens of the protagonist, Robert Elsmere, who appears to be navigating a significant transitional period in life while encountering new ideals and challenges.
