Fenwick's Career
E-text prepared by Andrew Templeton, Juliet Sutherland, Bill Hershey, and Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders
"Fenwick's Career" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around the struggles and ambitions of John Fenwick, a painter who grapples with his artistic dreams while contending with personal responsibilities and societal expectations. The narrative explores themes of ambition, self-assertion, and the interplay of love and sacrifice within the context of a young artist's life. The opening of the novel introduces us to John Fenwick, who is portrayed as a talented but struggling artist in Westmoreland. He finds himself in a difficult position as he paints a portrait of Bella Morrison, a woman plagued by her insecurities and influences from her overbearing mother. Fenwick's interactions with the Morrison family reveal his aspirations and the societal pressures he faces, while hints of his deeper relationship with his wife, Phoebe, begin to unfurl. As the story unfolds, Fenwick contemplates a pivotal decision to move to London for better opportunities, setting up a conflict between his artistic ambitions and his duties as a husband and father.
