Project Gutenberg 2003-08-01 Public domain in the USA. 152 Gissing, George 1857 1903 Gissing, George Robert In the Year of Jubilee Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Janet Blenkinship, and David Widger "In the Year of Jubilee" by George Gissing is a novel written during the late 19th century. Set in the context of Victorian England, the story explores the lives of characters navigating social complexities and societal expectations amidst the backdrop of a national celebration. The narrative revolves primarily around Arthur Peachey and his wife, Ada, as well as their sisters Beatrice and Fanny French, who each grapple with their roles, aspirations, and relationships in a changing world. The opening of the novel introduces Arthur Peachey as he steps out of his home on a Sunday morning to embark on a long-awaited summer holiday. Meanwhile, his wife Ada and her sisters are depicted in a chaotic domestic scene filled with bickering and dissatisfaction, revealing the struggles of their middle-class existence. The sisters' contrasting personalities and ambitions set the stage for themes of social aspiration, the quest for independence, and the difficulties of managing relationships, particularly in the context of romantic interests and class dynamics. This initial glimpse into their lives hints at larger social critiques that Gissing will explore through the intertwining lives of these characters.
