René Galluvot (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica)) "La pudique Albion" by Hector France is a critical novel written in the late 19th century. The work explores the hypocrisy and moral façade of British society, particularly focusing on themes of purity, vice, and societal pretense. The narrative seems to delve into the stark contrasts between public deportment and private behavior, likely highlighting the experiences of young women in a repressive environment. The opening of the novel sets a scathing tone as the narrator reflects on English society's obsession with appearances and hypocrisy. With vivid illustrations, the text introduces the character of Nelly Fergusson, a young girl in an orphanage under the strict oversight of Miss Rabbit, who embodies the repressive norms and moral severity of the era. The scene unfolds mercilessly as Miss Rabbit prepares to punish Nelly, revealing the brutal discipline enforced on students while critiquing the moral absurdities that underpin such practices. Overall, the beginning of the story establishes a setting ripe for exploring the complexities of societal expectations and the dark undercurrents of British moralism.
