The Pillars of the House is a novel by Charlotte M. Yonge, published in 1873. It is the first volume of a two-part series, and it follows the lives of the Morley family, who live in a small English village in the mid-19th century. The novel explores themes of family, religion, and social class, as well as the changing roles of women in Victorian society.The story is told through the eyes of Laura, the eldest daughter of the Morley family. Laura is a strong-willed and intelligent young woman, who is determined to make her own way in the world, despite the limitations placed on her by society. She is supported in her endeavors by her father, a kind and loving man who is deeply committed to his family and his faith.As the novel unfolds, the Morleys face a series of challenges and struggles, both personal and societal. Laura's younger sister, Lily, falls in love with a man from a lower social class, causing tension within the family. Meanwhile, Laura herself grapples with her own feelings of love and duty, as she struggles to balance her desire for independence with her obligations to her family and her faith.Throughout the novel, Yonge explores the complex relationships between family members, as well as the ways in which social class and gender roles shape these relationships. She also offers a nuanced portrayal of Victorian society, highlighting both its strengths and its flaws.Overall, The Pillars of the House is a rich and engaging novel, offering a fascinating glimpse into the lives of a Victorian family, and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world.There are limits to human endurance, and Tom and I have overpassed each other's. I don't blame him, poor man; he wanted raw material to serve as an importer of hides and tallow, but you, the genuine article, were bespoken, and my father was not in a state for the pleading of personal predilections.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
