Nature And Art

Nature and Art is a novel written by Elizabeth Inchbald, also known as Mrs. Inchbald. The book was published in 1796 and is set in England during the late 18th century. The story revolves around the lives of two sisters, Caroline and Julia, who are orphaned and left in the care of their uncle, Sir Edward. Caroline is beautiful and kind-hearted, while Julia is selfish and manipulative. Sir Edward favors Julia and plans to arrange a marriage between her and a wealthy suitor, Mr. Rushbrook. However, Caroline falls in love with Mr. Harley, a poor artist who is passionate about nature and art. The two sisters' conflicting personalities and desires create tension and drama throughout the novel. The story explores themes of love, family, class, and the conflict between nature and art. It is a classic example of 18th-century literature, with its emphasis on social norms and moral values. Overall, Nature and Art is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that has stood the test of time.Yet there was a sentence in the letter, that, worse than all the tenderness left out, wounded her sensibility; and she could not read the line, GRATITUDE FOR ALL THE FAVOURS CONFERRED ON ME, without turning pale with horror, then kindling with indignation at the commonplace thanks, which insultingly reminded her of her innocence given in exchange for unmeaning acknowledgments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
