Publisher's Synopsis

Behind The Scenes is a novel written by Rosina Bulwer Lytton and published in 1854. The book is a semi-autobiographical account of the author's own experiences as a member of high society in Victorian England. The story follows the life of Isabel, a young woman from a wealthy family who is forced into a loveless marriage with a man she does not love. As she struggles to find happiness in her new life, Isabel becomes increasingly disillusioned with the shallow and superficial world of the upper class. Along the way, she meets a number of interesting and complex characters, including a talented artist, a passionate reformer, and a charming rogue. Through her interactions with these characters, Isabel begins to question the values and beliefs of the society in which she lives, and ultimately learns to find her own path in life. The book is a fascinating exploration of Victorian society and the challenges faced by women in that era, and remains a popular and influential work of literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
