First English translation of the famous German novel about a
woman's struggle against Victorian social conventions, now in
paperback for classroom use. Upon publication in 1895, Gabriele
Reuter's From a Good Family (Aus guter Familie) became something of
a cultural event, making its author one of Germany's most
talked-about women of letters. Set in the first two decades of the
Second German Reich, this story of a Prussian bureaucrat's daughter
caught between conformity and rebellion struck at the core of the
class that upheld the empire, revealing the hypocrisy and misery at
the very heart of the bourgeois family. It recorded the conflicted
and ultimately interminable adolescence of a middle-class girl who
failed to fulfill the destiny prescribed for her by her gender and
class, a young woman who, despite an incipient high-spiritedness
and independence of mind, internalized the attitudes of her culture
to the point of lethal self-censorship. Gabriele Reuter (1859-1941)
began writing in her teens but did not experience a literary and
commercial breakthrough until the publication of From a Good Family
in 1895. This success enabled her finally to live as a freelance
writer. In addition to a string of popular novels she wrote essays
and sketches for German and Austrian newspapers; in the 1920s and
1930s she regularly reviewed German books for the New York Times.
