The most romantic literary lovers in history: Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth. Lucy Honeychurch and George Emerson. Helen Graham and Gilbert Markham. Now, all three of their classic stories are collected in one volume: the Classic Romance Collection - Volume III featuring Jane Austen's "Persuasion," E.M. Forster's "A Room With a View," and Anne Brontë's "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall."
First, Jane Austen's "Persuasion," wherein we meet Anne Elliot, whose family is in crisis. Anne's once-wealthy father has fallen into financial ruin and they are forced to rent their estate and move to more modest accommodations. What's more, the family that moves into the house is that of Captain Wentworth, whom Anne rejected as a suitor years before due to his lack of prospects but who has now risen in the military ranks to become wealthy and prosperous. Anne, now twenty-seven, feels that she is past her prime and that her marriage prospects are dim. Or...are they?
Then, we have E.M. Forster's "A Room With a View," featuring the beautiful young Englishwoman Lucy Honeychurch who - on a trip to Italy - encounters and becomes enamored with the free-thinking and handsome George Emerson. Will Lucy marry the society-approved Cecil Vyse...or follow her heart?
Finally, we have "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall," Anne Brontë's wildly successful and best-known novel. It tells the story of Helen Graham, a young woman who is courted by and marries the spoiled and self-involved Arthur Huntingdon, a charming suitor but a disastrous and cruel husband. Helen is pressed by her would-be suitor Gilbert Markham to abandon her husband and run away with him but...her devotion to her horrible husband forbids it.
Three classic novels of love, drama and romance collected together for the first time, these books are presented in their original and unabridged format.
