Project Gutenberg 1997-12-01 Public domain in the USA. 372 James, Henry 1843 1916 In the Cage Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Cage David Price "In the Cage" by Henry James is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book centers around a young female telegraphist who navigates her constrained existence at a post-and-telegraph office while engaging with the lives of the wealthy Londoners who pass through her workplace. The theme of social class and the constraints of her position in society shape her interactions and aspirations. The opening of the novel introduces us to the protagonist, who reflects on her role at the telegraph office with a mix of resignation and longing. She shares her space with two young men, her co-workers, while she contemplates the complexities of her life as a working-class woman in a bustling city. As she interacts with customers who belong to a higher social strata, her observations about their lives reveal her yearning to break free from her mundane function. The narrative establishes a duality in her life, as she grapples with her feelings for Mr. Mudge, her fiancé, and her fascination with Captain Everard, a charming gentleman whose presence symbolizes a world distinctly separate from her own. This tension between her desires and her realities sets the stage for a deeper exploration of identity and class throughout the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
