Written in secret and published anonymously in 1897, The Descendant is the story of an independent heroine who seeks passion rather than marriage. Ellen Glasgow’s first novel, the book received mixed reviews, with praise for its insight and dramatic power and criticism that included charges of unwholesomeness and inconsistent characterization.
