The Seamstress - George William Macarthur Reynolds - Bog

The Seamstress: Or The White Slave Of England is a novel written by George William Macarthur Reynolds and published in 1853. The story follows the life of Ellen Percy, a young seamstress who is forced into a life of prostitution after being falsely accused of stealing. Ellen's struggle to survive in the harsh world of Victorian England is at the heart of the novel, as she faces poverty, abuse, and exploitation at the hands of men who see her as nothing more than a commodity. Along the way, she meets a cast of characters who either help or hinder her, including a kind-hearted doctor, a cruel pimp, and a wealthy aristocrat who takes an interest in her. The novel is a powerful indictment of the social and economic inequality of the time, and Reynolds uses Ellen's story to expose the hypocrisy and corruption of the ruling classes. The Seamstress is a gripping and emotional tale that offers a vivid portrait of life in Victorian England, and remains a classic of 19th-century literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
