Summary "Robert Elsmere" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story opens in the picturesque setting of Westmoreland, where we are introduced to the Leyburn sisters—Catherine, Rose, and Agnes—who reside in a farm that has recently undergone changes indicative of a social transformation. This opening lays the groundwork for exploring themes of class, gender, and moral responsibility through the relationships and dynamics within the community they inhabit, particularly focusing on the character Robert Elsmere, whose arrival signals crucial developments in their lives. At the start of the novel, readers are immersed in a vivid description of a warm May afternoon in the Westmoreland valley, setting the scene for the various characters who populate this tranquil yet shifting world. As we meet Catherine Leyburn, who is described as possessing a delicate strength and a sense of moral authority, we learn about her sisters and their contrasting personalities. The narrative hints at a looming visit from Robert Elsmere, a young man with a promising background, whose presence is anticipated with a mixture of excitement and curiosity among the Leyburn sisters. This opening portion establishes not only the characters and setting but also alludes to the complexity of social interactions and evolving ideals within the rural community, creating an engaging premise for the reader.
