Beautiful young Clara de Saumarez, strong-willed and impulsive,
runs away from her aristocratic family to London to become an
actress after her father punishes her with a dog whip. In London,
she becomes an acclaimed actress, but disregards societal
conventions by living with her theatre manager, Vasty Vaughan.
Clara's beauty inspires the love of three men: the lecherous
Vaughan, the handsome but rigidly Calvinistic curate Edward
Mantell, and the kind Socialist Percival Glynn. But as Clara's
story unfolds, she begins to be aware of the unpleasant realities
around her, including her own equivocal social status, the
inequalities facing women, and the suffering of the working
class.
First published in 1851, Eliza Lynn Linton's "Realities" met
with near-unanimous disdain from critics, who decried its
"repulsive portraits" and its tendency to "shock and disgust." This
new edition, the first-ever reprinting of the novel, includes the
unabridged text of the original three-volume edition as well as a
new introduction and notes by Deborah T. Meem and the text of
contemporary reviews.
