Summary "The Coryston Family" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book revolves around the complex dynamics of the Coryston family, particularly focusing on Lady Coryston and her relationship with her children, especially her rebellious eldest son, Coryston. The narrative introduces themes of family loyalty, social expectations, and the clash of political ideals against personal relationships. The opening of the novel immerses readers into a lively session of the House of Commons, where Lady Coryston and her daughter, Marcia, observe the proceedings from the Ladies' Gallery. This setting establishes the political backdrop against which the family dramas unfold, hinting at underlying tensions related to political beliefs and family legacies. The narrative portrays Lady Coryston as a formidable matriarch deeply entrenched in the political and social sphere, while Marcia grapples with her own identity and societal expectations. It quickly becomes apparent that familial discord, particularly between Lady Coryston and her son Coryston, will be pivotal to the plot, particularly as it relates to the inheritance and management of the family's estates following the death of Lady Coryston's husband. As the opening sets the stage for these intricate relationships, it invites readers into a world marked by both societal grandeur and personal turmoil. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
