In Mary Cholmondeley’s novel ‘Notwithstanding, ‘ published in 1913, the author delves into the intricacies of social class, gender roles, and morality within the context of a small English village. Cholmondeley’s writing style is characterized by keen observations of human behavior, sharp wit, and a satirical tone that adds depth to the narrative. The novel is set against the backdrop of a changing society, where traditional values clash with modern ideals, creating a rich tapestry of characters and relationships. Cholmondeley skillfully weaves together multiple storylines, offering a nuanced portrayal of the complexities of interpersonal dynamics and societal expectations. Mary Cholmondeley, a British novelist and philanthropist, drew inspiration from her own experiences and observations of English society, particularly in rural settings. Her keen eye for detail and social critique shine through in ‘Notwithstanding, ‘ making it a compelling read for those interested in Victorian literature and social commentary. I highly recommend ‘Notwithstanding’ to readers who appreciate thought-provoking narratives that offer insight into the human condition within the constraints of societal norms.
