Dorothy Forster is a novel written by Walter Besant, first published in 1884. The story is set in the 18th century and follows the life of a young woman named Dorothy Forster, who lives with her family in Northumberland, England. Dorothy is an independent and spirited young woman who is determined to live life on her own terms, despite the societal expectations placed upon her.The novel begins with the arrival of a new rector, Mr. Hilyard, who quickly becomes a close friend of Dorothy and her family. Mr. Hilyard introduces Dorothy to a group of rebels who are plotting against the government, and she becomes involved in their cause. As she becomes more deeply involved, Dorothy finds herself torn between her loyalty to her family and her commitment to the cause.Throughout the novel, Besant explores themes of love, loyalty, and political rebellion. He also provides a vivid portrayal of life in 18th century England, with its class divisions and political tensions. The novel is notable for its strong female protagonist, who defies societal norms and takes an active role in the political events of her time.Overall, Dorothy Forster is a compelling historical novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th century England, as well as a powerful story of one woman's struggle for independence and freedom.Conduct so blameless, gravity so singular, wisdom so remarkable, never before seen in a man so young, could not fail to command, before long, the confidence of all. Mr. Forster entrusted his most private affairs to the counsel of Mr. Hilyard; madam carried her complaints to him as to one who would find redress; his pupil, who loved not books, obeyed him, was shamed out of his rusticity, and was kept by him from those follies by which young gentlemen in the country too often suffer in reputation and imperil their souls.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
