Ideala is a novel written by Sarah Grand, published in 1888. The story is set in Victorian England and follows the life of Jane Oglander, a young woman who is determined to live her life in accordance with her own ideals. Jane is a strong-willed and independent woman who rejects the traditional roles of women in society and instead pursues her own passions and interests. As the story progresses, Jane becomes involved in a romantic relationship with a man named Edward Neville, who shares her progressive views on women's rights and social reform. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Edward is already married and has a child. Throughout the novel, Grand explores themes of gender roles, marriage, and societal expectations. She also critiques the Victorian era's strict moral codes and highlights the limitations placed on women during this time. Ideala was a groundbreaking novel for its time, as it challenged traditional Victorian values and promoted feminist ideals. It remains an important work in the history of women's literature and continues to be studied and analyzed by scholars today.It was not always--although, unfortunately, it was oftenest at critical moments--that she was beset with this inability to see more than one side of a subject at a time. The odd thing about it was that one never knew which side, the pathetic or the humorous, would strike her. Generally, however, it was the one that related least to herself personally. This self-forgetfulness, with a keen sense of the ludicrous, led her sometimes, when she had anything amusing to relate, to overlook considerations which would have kept other people silent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
