About this eBook

Author Trollope, Anthony, 1815-1882
Title Linda Tressel
Credits E-text prepared by Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D.
Summary "Linda Tressel" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Linda Tressel, a young woman living under the strict guardianship of her aunt, Madame Charlotte Staubach, in Nuremberg. The novel explores themes of personal freedom, the constraints of rigid morality, and the struggle between societal expectations and individual desires. The opening of "Linda Tressel" introduces us to the central characters: Linda, who is raised in a household governed by her aunt’s strict religious beliefs, and Peter Steinmarc, the family’s lodger who wishes to marry Linda. Linda's aunt, while deeply caring, imposes her austere moral standards on Linda, leading to a life filled with repression and longing for freedom. This backdrop of rigid virtue contrasts sharply with the emerging feelings Linda has for Ludovic Valcarm, a young man who embodies the very passions she is taught to suppress. As the complexity of relationships unfolds, we see Linda caught between her aunt's expectations and her own burgeoning desires for love and independence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
