Marcella, young and with a new-womanly independence, has a yearning to help the poor. When a gamekeeper is murdered near where she lives, Marcella finds herself at odds with her wealthy fiancé over beliefs about property and justice. The discovery leads Marcella to pursue—among other things—a career in nursing. In settings ranging from village cottages, London slums and hospital wards to fashionable drawing rooms and the Ladies’ Gallery of the Houses of Parliament, the book combines a gripping story with serious issues—socialism, rural and urban poverty, poaching laws, journalistic ethics, the Woman Question—inspiring critics to liken Marcella to George Eliot’s novels. The Broadview Literary Texts edition records the substantive differences between the two major editions published during Ward’s lifetime, and included among the many appendices are news accounts of the murder trial and executions that inspired the novel, and previously unpublished letters by Ward. NB: Mary Augusta Ward has traditionally been known as Mrs. Humphry Ward.

Mary Augusta Ward CBE (née Arnold) was born on 11th June 1851 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Her uncle was the famed poet Matthew Arnold. When Mary was five the family returned to England. Mary now spent much of her time with her grandmother or at boarding schools before, at 16, returning to live with her parents at Oxford, where her father lectured in in history. Her schooldays were the basis for a later novel, 'Marcella' (1894). On 6th April 1872, Mary married Humphry Ward, a fellow and tutor of Brasenose College, and a writer and editor. Mary was very proficient with languages; French, German, Italian, Latin and Greek. She was also developing an interest in education. After learning Spanish in 1877 she began the writing the lives of a large number of early Spanish ecclesiastics for the Dictionary of Christian Biography. Her translation of 'Amiel's Journal' was published in 1885. All her published works were as Mrs Humphry Ward. Mary wrote many articles for Macmillan's Magazine over the years, a useful income whilst she wrote books. Her first, a children's book 'Milly and Olly' (1881). In 1884 came 'Miss Bretherton', the story of an actress. Her novels were infused with strong religious tones of the Victorian age which she herself practiced. Mary's popularity was widespread and in the United States her book 'Lady Rose's Daughter' was the best-seller in 1903, and 'The Marriage of William Ashe' of 1905. Her most popular novel was 'Robert Elsmere', which narrated the emotional conflict between the young pastor Elsmere and his wife, whose parochial orthodoxy brings her faith and their love to a terrible impasse. Mary helped found an organisation for working and teaching among the poor and worked as an educator in the residential settlement movements she set up. Mary declared aim was "equalisation" in society. However, she was also a significant campaigner against women getting the vote. In 1908 she was asked to be the founding president of the Women's National Anti-Suffrage League. Mary took on the job and edited the Anti-Suffrage Review. She published many articles on the subject, and two of her novels, 'The Testing of Diana Mallory' and 'Delia Blanchflower', were used to criticise the suffragettes. In a 1909 Times article she opinioned that constitutional, legal, financial, military, and international problems were problems only men could solve. During World War I, Mary was asked by the former US President Theodore Roosevelt to write articles to explain to Americans what was happening in Britain. Her work resulted in three books; 'England's Effort - Six Letters to an American Friend' (1916), 'Towards the Goal' (1917), and 'Fields of Victory' (1919). Mary was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1919. Mary Augusta Ward died in London on 24th March 1920.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Life of Mrs. Humphry Ward: Look inside the book: A daughter of Anthony Fenn Kemp (himself a “character” of a remarkable kind) married William Sorell and so became the mother of Julia and the grandmother of Mary Arnold; but the principal fact that is known of her is that she deserted her three daughters after bringing them to England for their education, went off with an army officer and was hardly heard of more. ...It was wet autumn weather and the little family huddled forlornly in a small inn in Thames Street, but the next day a deliverer appeared in the person of William Forster (the future Education Minister), who had married Tom’s eldest sister Jane a few years before and who now carried off the whole family to better quarters in London, helped them in the kindest way and finally saw off the mother and children to the friendly shelter of Fox How—that beloved home among the Westmorland hills which “the Doctor” had built to house his growing family and which was now to play so great a part in the development of his latest descendant, the little Mary Arnold. ...They certainly made a memorable group, the nine sons and daughters of Arnold of Rugby: all of whom, except Fan, the youngest daughter, were scattered from the nest by the time that “little Polly” came to Fox How, but all of whom maintained for each other and for their mother the tenderest affection, so that life at the Westmorland home was continually crossed and re-crossed by their visits and their letters.
