As it is common and necessary in the academic world, students study
art and its history, perceiving many, many works over their
academic career. However, it is rare that a piece art can be traced
back to a student through personal history. Yet, Professor
Fletcher's pupils get this chance as they study a portrait of a
woman named Lady Hammerton. First starting with the story of his
grandfather's scandalous marriage to a woman twenty-four years
younger than him, Professor Fletcher leads the discussion on the
intriguing story behind the portrait, and the colorful personality
and accomplishments of the lady immortalized on the canvas. While
the students hear of stories both heart-breaking, inspirational,
and shocking, they become even more invested when they realize the
uncanny resemblance a fellow student, Milly, shares with the woman
in the painting. As they learn of their blood connection, the
students keep these stories in mind as they continue their studies
with a greater perspective. Though not often found in print, The
Invader: A Novel by Margaret Louisa Woods is a compelling and
thought-provoking read. Through the exploration of topics such as
art, history, and ancestry, this dramatic novel allows modern
readers a privileged perspective into the culture of the early 20th
century, especially concerning the academic world. With captivating
characters, and vivid description, The Invader: A Novel is alluring
and fascinating. Decorated with Woods' gorgeous and poem-like
prose, The Invader: A Novel intimately depicts characters and
scenery that stay imprinted on readers' minds long after the
narrative is finished. This edition of The Invader: A Novel by
Margaret Louisa Woods features an eye-catching new cover design and
is presented in a font that is both modern and readable. With these
accommodations, this edition is accessible and appealing to
contemporary audiences, restoring The Invader: A Novel to modern
standards while preserving the poetic prose and mastery of Margaret
Lousia Woods' work.
