The novel (1876) follows the fortunes of Ethelberta, one of the numerous family of Chicherel, a butler. She marries the son of the house where she is governess, only to be widowed by the time she is 21, but attempts to retain her social position, while concealing her relationship to the butler. Finally, she marries a wicked old peer, while her faithful admirer, the musician Christopher Julian, is left to marry her sister Picotee.

Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.

From the Back Cover Ethelberta Petherwin is a glamorous young widow; her passionate poetry, beauty and wealth make her the star of every salon, and her faint air of mystery merely increases her allure. But if her hand is London's most valued prize, it is because no one has yet noticed her lineage of laborers recently risen to the doubtful heights of domestic servitude. Hardy scrutinizes Ethelberta as the strain of deception takes its toll, and her precarious hold on her coveted social status begins to slip.
