| Summary | "Robert Elsmere" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of faith, societal change, and interpersonal relationships, particularly through the lens of the protagonist, Robert Elsmere, who appears to be navigating a significant transitional period in life while encountering new ideals and challenges. The setting introduces the Leyburn family, especially the sisters Catherine, Agnes, and Rose, who represent varying aspects of femininity and social expectations in their rural Westmoreland home. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of a serene Westmoreland afternoon, contrasting the beauty of the landscape with the nuances of the Leyburn family life, particularly focusing on the interactions between the three sisters. Catherine, the eldest, displays a nurturing disposition as she deals with local tragedies, while Agnes and Rose bring a lighter tone with their conversations and preparations for an upcoming visit from Robert Elsmere. As the sisters await this intriguing stranger who brings with him the promise of change, the narrative hints at deeper themes of personal growth and social expectations that are set to unfold as their lives intersect.
