Book Description

Excerpt from A Memoir of Miss. Mary Jane Graham, Late of Stoke Fleming, Devon The writer did not enjoy the' privilege of personal acquaint ance With the subject of this Memoir. But when the mate rials, both of incident and manuscripts, were placed in his hands, he could not but feel that many subjects of valuable interest and importance might be'brought out With advantage to the church. He has been constrained to compensate for the paucity of incident by the introduction of large extracts from her writings and correspondence, Which, however, Will he often found to afi'ord instructive developments of the char acter of her mind, and the principles of her profession; If he should be thought, by the extension of his own remarks, to have occasionally transgressed the bounds of a'biographer, he can only cast himself upon the indulgence of his readers, in the exercise of his important responsibility, in availing himself of this opportunity to offer a few suggestions of Christian love upon subjects of present and most anxious in terest in the church of God.

Excellent Women


Book Description

Excellent Women is probably the most famous of Barbara Pym's novels. The acclaim a few years ago for this early comic novel, which was hailed by Lord David Cecil as one of 'the finest examples of high comedy to have appeared in England during the past seventy-five years,' helped launch the rediscovery of the author's entire work. Mildred Lathbury is a clergyman's daughter and a spinster in the England of the 1950s, one of those 'excellent women' who tend to get involved in other people's lives - such as those of her new neighbor, Rockingham, and the vicar next door. This is Barbara Pym's world at its funniest.
