About this eBook

Author Sargent, George E. (George Eliel), 1809-1883
Title John Tincroft, bachelor and benedict : or, Without intending it
Original Publication London: The Religious Tract Society, 1891.
Summary "John Tincroft, Bachelor and Benedict: or, Without Intending It" by George E. Sargent is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows John Tincroft, a shy, awkward undergraduate at Oxford who is invited to spend his long vacation at the country home of a college friend. As he acclimates to this new life away from the confines of academia, he becomes entangled in a web of social interactions and romantic tensions alongside the challenges faced by the struggling Wilson family. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to John Tincroft's circumstances as an orphan living with an unsympathetic guardian, setting the stage for his escape to the freedom of Grigson Manor. Initially relieved at the invitation, John's experiences reveal his social awkwardness and rear him into a world dominated by rural life and budding romances. As he mingles with his host's family and interacts with the alluring yet troubled Sarah Wilson, we sense John’s emotional awakening, yet he is unaware of the complexities introduced by her engagements and familial struggles. The foundation laid in this opening invites readers into a narrative that promises charm, personal growth, and a reflection on societal expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
