""The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne"" is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1860. The story follows the life of Mary Lowther, the daughter of a country parson in the fictional village of Oxney Colne. Mary is a highly intelligent and independent woman who struggles to find her place in a society that values wealth and status above all else. As the novel progresses, Mary falls in love with a young man named Harry Gilmore, who is the heir to a wealthy estate. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Harry's family disapproves of Mary's lack of social standing. Mary must navigate the complex social hierarchy of Victorian England while also dealing with her own personal struggles, including her father's declining health and her own uncertain future.Throughout the novel, Trollope explores themes of class, gender, and social mobility, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals who do not fit into the rigid societal norms of their time. ""The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne"" is a poignant and insightful portrayal of life in Victorian England, and a testament to Trollope's skill as a writer.But our present story will have more to do with his daughter than with him. A pretty girl, I have said, was Patience Woolsworthy; and one, too, in many ways remarkable. She had taken her outlook into life, weighing the things which she had and those which she had not, in a manner very unusual, and, as a rule, not always desirable for a young lady. The things which she had not were very many.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
