Description
Esther Waters is a powerful and influential novel that opened up a new direction for English realism in 1894. Set against the backdrop of Victorian London's dark underbelly, the story follows Esther's struggles against prejudice and injustice as she fights to protect her son. With extraordinary candor, Moore depicts a world of horse racing, betting, and public houses, vividly capturing the lives of working-class women like Esther. The novel remains one of the great portrayals of London life and labor in the 1890s, offering a moving portrayal of a woman's determination to protect her child. This new edition includes an introduction by Stephen Regan, explanatory notes that clarify unfamiliar expressions, and improved chronology and bibliography for further study.
