"Phoebe, Junior" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Phoebe Tozer, the daughter of a prominent deacon and an ambitious minister’s wife, as she navigates the complexities of social standing, personal ambition, and family expectations. The narrative unfolds in the town of Carlingford, highlighting themes of social ascent and the judgments that accompany it, especially within the realm of Dissenting religious communities. The opening of the novel introduces us to Phoebe Beecham, who has recently married the Reverend Mr. Beecham. Their marriage is met with mixed feelings from the congregation as they grapple with the social dynamics of their community, particularly in light of Beecham’s humble beginnings as a minister. Phoebe’s sense of elevation and her boldness in embracing her new role provoke jealousy and disdain among others in her social sphere. The chapter sets the stage for Phoebe’s journey towards self-discovery amid societal scrutiny and her internal conflict about her family legacy, foreshadowing her future decisions and significant interactions, particularly with the boastful Mr. Copperhead and his affluent circle.
