The Past is a novel written by Ellen Glasgow. The story revolves around the lives of two sisters, Laura and Lavinia, who live in Virginia during the early 20th century. Laura is a successful writer who has moved to New York City, while Lavinia remains in Virginia to care for their aging mother. As the novel progresses, the sisters' lives become intertwined with those of their neighbors and other members of their community. Glasgow explores themes of family, love, and the changing social and political landscape of the South during this time period.Throughout the novel, Glasgow's writing style is characterized by vivid descriptions of the natural surroundings and the characters' inner thoughts and emotions. The Past is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the complexities of life in the early 20th century South.How do you think Mrs. Vanderbridge is looking? she asked abruptly in a voice that held a breathless note of suspense. Her nervousness and the queer look in her face made me stare at her sharply. This was a house, I was beginning to feel, where everybody, from the mistress down, wanted to question me. Even the silent maid had found voice for interrogation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
