Robert Elsmere by Humphry Ward

Robert Elsmere was the most successful novel of its age. Published in 1888, it tells movingly of a young clergyman whose loss of faith puts a great strain on his marriage to a staunchly evangelical wife. Tolstoy thought Mrs. Ward the greatest English novelist of her time.

Rosemary Ashton is professor of English language and literature at University College London and the author of many distinguished biographies and cultural histories of the nineteenth century, including George Eliot and 142 Strand.
