One of the best works of the golden age of English literature. A repeatedly adapted masterpiece of psychological realism. The novel, which was first published in 1848, caused a sensation in England as it posed, for the first time in European literature, a very uncomfortable question with complete frankness and directness: should a woman who has become the wife of a domestic tyrant submissively bear her cross for the sake of preserving the family, in the name of the children? Or perhaps, breaking the ties of such a marriage is not only her right but also her duty as a mother?
