Countess Kate

Countess Kate is a novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge, first published in 1859. The story follows the life of Kate, a young woman who is orphaned and raised by her aunt and uncle. Kate’s uncle is a wealthy and influential man who wants her to marry his son, but Kate has other plans. She falls in love with a poor artist named Philip, and the two of them struggle to make a life together despite the disapproval of Kate’s family. Along the way, Kate learns about the importance of following her heart and standing up for herself, even in the face of societal expectations. The novel is a classic example of Victorian literature, exploring themes of love, class, and gender roles in 19th century England.She wove to herself dreams of possible delights with Sylvia and Charlie, if the summer visit could be paid to them; and at other times she imagined her Uncle Giles’s two daughters still alive, and sent home for education, arranging in her busy brain wonderful scenes, in which she, with their assistance, should be happy in spite of Aunt Barbara.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
