Summary "Isabel Clarendon, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by George Gissing is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Isabel Clarendon, whose life unfolds from her marriage to Mr. Eustace Clarendon, an ambitious yet somewhat cynical Member of Parliament, to her struggles during his long illness and eventual death. The narrative weaves a tapestry of social dynamics, emotional trials, and the search for identity amid societal expectations. At the start of the novel, we meet Bernard Kingcote, a reflective young man exploring the picturesque countryside on a summer day. During his walk, he experiences a moment that captivates his attention—a young artist sketching outside a quaint, old-fashioned cottage. Despite initial disappointment in her appearance, Kingcote is intrigued by her demeanor, which hints at a deeper complexity. The narrative also introduces Mr. and Mrs. Vissian, the local rector and his wife, who become key figures in the social landscape that Isabel inhabits. As the story unfolds, we learn of Isabel’s difficult past, her marriage, and the expectations placed upon her, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of her character and relationships in the chapters to come.
