Produced by Charles Bowen from page scans provided by Google Books
"Broken to Harness: A Story of English Domestic Life" by Edmund Yates is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around characters embedded in the tapestry of English society, depicting their interactions and the various social dynamics at play. The opening introduces Frank Churchill, a literary contributor, and sets the stage for his upcoming holiday at his godfather's countryside estate, while hinting at potential romantic entanglements. At the start of the narrative, we find Mr. Churchill immersed in his work at the "Statesman" office where he is greeted by his colleague, Mr. Harding. Their conversation touches on Churchill's recent work and his single status, with hints of pressure to marry. As Churchill prepares for his countryside excursion, he reflects humorously on marriage and the societal pressures associated with it. The introduction of various characters, including his mother and Mr. Beresford, foreshadows the complex relationships and entanglements that will unfold throughout the novel as characters grapple with societal expectations and personal desires.
