Transcribed from the 1864 Chapman and Hall “Tales of All Countries” edition by David Price
"The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written during the mid-19th century, a time associated with the Victorian era. The book primarily explores social class dynamics, love, and personal sacrifice through the lens of a young woman navigating her emotions and societal expectations in a rural English setting. It delves into the life of Patience Woolsworthy, the parson's daughter, and her interactions with the local community and a visiting captain. The story centers around Patience Woolsworthy, who has been raised in a secluded parsonage with her antiquarian father and a close friend, Miss Le Smyrger. As they interact with Captain John Broughton, a fashionable young man, Patience grapples with her feelings for him and her understanding of love and social status. Despite her deep affection for Broughton, she is initially skeptical about their compatibility due to their vastly different backgrounds. After a whirlwind of emotions and a brief engagement, Patience ultimately decides to break off the relationship, recognizing the importance of personal integrity over societal expectations. The novel concludes with Patience embracing her role within her community, underscoring themes of self-awareness and the complexities of true love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
