| Summary | "All Sorts and Conditions of Men: An Impossible Story" by Walter Besant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores various classes of society as it unfolds around the lives of several key characters, most notably Angela Messenger, a young woman who is the heiress of a brewery and grapples with her identity and responsibilities, and Harry Goslett, a young man navigating his own complicated heritage. The story intricately portrays social themes and the contrasts between the lives of the upper and working classes. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Angela Messenger and her friend Constance at Cambridge, where they discuss the weight of their futures and the impact of their choices on their lives. Angela, wealthy due to her brewery inheritance, expresses a yearning to connect with the working class and improve the lives of those less fortunate. Meanwhile, in a parallel storyline, Harry Goslett learns about his own unknown lineage, the son of a sergeant, and contemplates the implications of returning to his roots. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of social class dynamics, aspirations, and what it means to truly belong in a rapidly changing society.
