Publisher's Synopsis
""The Wild-Duck Shooter And I Have A Right"" is a novel written by Jean Ingelow in 1867. The story revolves around a young girl named Rhoda, who is sent to live with her aunt and uncle in the countryside. Rhoda is an orphan and has been living with her grandfather in London before she is sent away. In the countryside, Rhoda meets a young boy named Edward, who is the son of the local squire. The two become friends and explore the surrounding woods and fields together. One day, they come across a man who is shooting wild ducks. Edward is outraged by this and confronts the man, but Rhoda is more understanding and sees the man's point of view. As Rhoda grows older, she becomes more aware of the social and political issues of the time, particularly the rights of women and the working class. She becomes involved in the suffrage movement and campaigns for women's right to vote. The novel explores themes of class, gender, and social justice, and is a reflection of the Victorian era in which it was written. Ingelow's writing is descriptive and evocative, painting a vivid picture of rural life in the 19th century. ""The Wild-Duck Shooter And I Have A Right"" is a thought-provoking and engaging read for anyone interested in Victorian literature and social history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
