An Earnest Trifler is a novel written by Mary Aplin Sprague and published in 1880. The story revolves around the protagonist, a young woman named Clara, who is described as a trifler due to her lack of focus and ambition. Despite her carefree attitude, Clara is determined to find true love and happiness in her life.As the plot unfolds, Clara finds herself torn between two suitors - the charming but unreliable Edgar, and the steady and dependable Arthur. Along the way, she must navigate the social expectations and pressures of Victorian society, as well as her own personal doubts and insecurities.Through Clara's journey, Sprague explores themes of love, marriage, and self-discovery in a time when women's roles were heavily restricted. The novel also offers a glimpse into the social norms and customs of the era, including the importance of class and wealth in determining one's social standing.Overall, An Earnest Trifler is a compelling and insightful portrait of a young woman's search for meaning and fulfillment in a society that often undervalues her contributions and aspirations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
