Project Gutenberg 2010-07-02 Public domain in the USA. 240 Marshall, Emma 1830 1899 Marshall, Emma Martin Her Season in Bath: A Story of Bygone Days Produced by Brian Foley, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Her Season in Bath: A Story of Bygone Days" by Emma Marshall is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set in the fashionable city of Bath during the year 1779, focusing on the lives and ambitions of its characters amid the backdrop of societal norms and expectations of the time. The story introduces Griselda Mainwaring and her guardian, Lady Betty Longueville, against a lively atmosphere filled with dance, music, and emerging relationships, as they navigate their social standing and personal desires. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of Bath during its peak season, highlighting the customs of society, fashion, and the contrast between the vivacious Lady Betty and the more contemplative Griselda. As Lady Betty prepares for an upcoming ball, she engages in superficial conversations about beauty and attraction, while Griselda reveals her aspirations towards music and self-expression through her violin. Their interactions set the stage for deeper themes of longing, individuality, and societal pressure, ultimately framing Griselda's internal struggle as she contemplates her place within a world that seems to define her by her status as an orphaned dependent. This engaging introduction promises a story rich in character development and historical richness, appealing to readers who enjoy intricate social dynamics and the interplay between personal ambition and societal expectations.
