Modern Lovers (1919)

Modern Lovers is a novel written by Viola Meynell and first published in 1919. The story is set in London during the early 20th century and follows the lives of a group of young artists and intellectuals who are struggling to find their place in the world. The main characters are two young women, Rachel and Ursula, who are best friends and both aspiring writers. Rachel is in love with a young poet named Richard, who is also her writing partner, but their relationship is complicated by his infidelity and his growing fame. Ursula, on the other hand, is in love with a struggling painter named Mark, who is also her close friend. As the story unfolds, the characters grapple with issues of love, art, and identity, and must navigate the complexities of their relationships and their own ambitions. Meynell's writing is characterized by its lyrical prose and deep psychological insight, and the novel offers a vivid portrait of the intellectual and artistic milieu of early 20th-century London.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
