Succession - Ethel Sidgwick - Bog

Succession: A Comedy Of The Generations (1913) is a novel written by Ethel Sidgwick. The book is a satirical portrayal of the generational divide between the old and new ways of thinking and living in early 20th century England. The story revolves around the wealthy and influential Birkett family, who are struggling to come to terms with the changing times and attitudes of the younger generation. The patriarch of the family, Sir Thomas Birkett, is a staunch traditionalist who is set in his ways and is opposed to anything that threatens the status quo. His son, Charles, is a modern thinker who is more interested in the arts and culture than in business and politics. The conflict between the two generations comes to a head when Sir Thomas dies and Charles is forced to take over the family business. The book is a humorous and insightful look at the clash between tradition and progress, and the challenges faced by those who try to bridge the gap between the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
