FRAMLEY PARSONAGE (WORDSWORTH CLASSICS)
Framley Parsonage centers on Mark Robarts, a young and ambitious vicar in the village of Framley. Eager to ascend the social ladder, Mark becomes entangled with Nathaniel Sowerby, a disreputable Member of Parliament. Persuaded to guarantee a substantial loan for Sowerby, Mark soon finds himself facing financial ruin when Sowerby defaults. His predicament threatens not only his reputation but also his family's stability.? Parallel to Mark's trials is the romantic subplot involving his sister, Lucy Robarts, and Lord Lufton, the son of Mark's patroness, Lady Lufton. Despite their mutual affection, Lady Lufton disapproves of the match, preferring her son to marry the socially superior Griselda Grantly. Lucy, aware of the social divide, initially rejects Lord Lufton's proposal. However, her unwavering integrity and kindness, especially towards the impoverished Crawley family, gradually win Lady Lufton's approval.
