Ring in the New

Résumé du livre

A scarce novel from English author and journalist Richard Whiteing (1840 - 1928), who rose to prominence with his 3rd novel, 1899's 'No. 5 John Street'. Other works include the prequel to that book 'The Island', 'The Yellow Van' and 'All Moonshine'. The novel principally concerns the struggles of Prue Meryon to support herself through work, and is "a passionate cry for new heavens and a new earth realizable here below". Whiteing was a supporter of the women's suffrage movement.
