"Autograph Copy No." [not numbered]. English novelist and social activist
Mary Augusta Ward (1851-1920) wrote novels which explored changing
moral norms. She often wrote under her married name, Mrs. Humphrey Ward. Her
novels Lady Rose's Daughter (1903) and The Marriage of William
Ashe (1905), were best sellers in the US, but her most influential novel was
Robert Ellsmere (1888), which explored the basis of morality in an era
when traditional religious strictures were loosening. Ward emphasized the
need for social action to help the poor, but opposed women's suffrage. She was
the first President of the Anti-Suffrage League (1908). Ward was linked
by birth and marriage to important British intellectuals, including her uncle -
poet Matthew Arnold - and the Huxleys. Edges frayed from binding. Toned. Fine
condition.
