About this book
In an era marked by shifting societal norms and the struggle for individual identity, "The Vehement Flame" by Margaret Wade Campbell Deland explores the tumultuous relationship between Maurice Curtis and his older wife, Eleanor Newbolt. Their impulsive marriage ignites a fierce examination of love, ambition, and the constraints imposed by societal expectations. As they navigate the complexities of their union, themes of personal freedom and the quest for authenticity emerge, challenging the status quo. This compelling narrative is ideal for students, civic activists, and historians interested in early 20th-century literature and its reflections on gender roles and personal agency. Deland's work serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring fight for self-definition amidst external pressures.
