Agony Point: Or The Groans Of Gentility by James Pycroft is a novel that explores the lives of the upper class in England during the 19th century. The story centers around the character of Sir George Mowbray, a wealthy landowner who is struggling to maintain his status and reputation in society. As the novel progresses, Sir George becomes increasingly desperate to hold onto his position and resorts to unethical and immoral behavior to achieve his goals. The novel also delves into the lives of other members of the upper class, including Lady Mowbray, Sir George's wife, and their children. Through their experiences, the novel exposes the hypocrisy and corruption that existed within the upper class during this time period. The book is a social commentary on the class system in England and the struggles faced by those who were born into privilege and wealth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
