The Revolt Of Man

The Revolt of Man is a novel written by the renowned British author, Walter Besant. The book is set in the 19th century and explores the themes of social inequality, gender roles, and the struggle for women's rights. The story revolves around the character of Richard Hardy, a wealthy and successful businessman who is married to a beautiful and accomplished woman named Edith. Despite their seemingly perfect life, Richard is plagued by a sense of dissatisfaction and disillusionment with his privileged existence. As he begins to question the status quo and the societal norms that dictate his life, Richard becomes increasingly drawn to the feminist movement and the idea of gender equality. He becomes involved with a group of women who are fighting for their rights and begins to see the world through their eyes. As Richard's involvement with the feminist movement deepens, he finds himself at odds with his own wife and their social circle, who view his newfound beliefs as radical and dangerous. The novel explores the tensions that arise as Richard attempts to reconcile his personal beliefs with the expectations of his privileged social class. Through Richard's journey, Besant offers a powerful critique of the patriarchal society of the time and the ways in which it oppressed women and marginalized those who did not conform to traditional gender roles. The Revolt of Man is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that continues to resonate with readers today.THE FIRST days were spent in drill, in exhortation, in feasting, and in singing. Grace Ingleby fitted new words to old tunes, and the men sang them marching across the park. A detachment of keepers was placed at the gates to receive new recruits, and to keep out the women who crowded round them all day long--some laughing, some crying, some threatening.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
