Coward and Coquette is a novel written by Mrs. Fairman Mann, first published in 1890. The story is set in the Victorian era and revolves around the lives of two main characters, a cowardly man named Jack and a coquettish woman named Gertrude. Jack is a wealthy young man who is afraid of taking risks and making decisions, while Gertrude is a beautiful and flirtatious woman who enjoys playing with men's emotions. The novel follows their tumultuous relationship as Gertrude manipulates Jack into doing her bidding, while Jack struggles to assert himself and break free from her hold. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including Gertrude's jealous ex-lover and Jack's loyal friend, who add depth and complexity to the narrative. Through the story of Jack and Gertrude, Mrs. Fairman Mann explores themes of love, power, and gender roles in Victorian society. She also provides a vivid portrayal of the era's social customs and expectations, from the rigid class hierarchy to the strict rules of courtship. Overall, Coward and Coquette is a compelling and entertaining novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian England. With its richly drawn characters and intricate plot, it remains a classic of 19th-century literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
