About the book

B. M. Croker's «Given in Marriage» presents a nuanced exploration of the complex interplay between love, social expectations, and personal aspirations in Victorian society. Written with Croker'Äôs signature wit and insight, the novel intricately depicts the lives of its characters as they navigate the constrictive mores of their time. The prose is marked by rich, descriptive language that immerses the reader in the societal backdrop of 19th-century England, while the plot intricately weaves themes of duty versus desire, making it a significant work in the canon of women's literature from this period. B. M. Croker, an influential Irish author, often drew upon her own experiences and observations of societal conventions, particularly concerning women'Äôs roles in marriage and society. Her background as a keen observer of contemporary cultural dynamics informed her writing, as she unflinchingly tackled themes of female agency and autonomy against a backdrop of societal constraints. Croker wrote during a time when women's voices in literature were gaining prominence, and she positioned herself within this evolving discourse. «Given in Marriage» is a compelling read for anyone interested in Victorian literature, gender studies, or the historical depiction of marital relationships. Croker's deft character development and sharp societal critique offer readers an engaging narrative that highlights the timeless struggles of women seeking fulfillment within the confines of tradition.
