My Lady Ludlow (Great Classics)

My Lady Ludlow recounts the daily lives of the widowed Countess of Ludlow of Hanbury and the spinster Miss Galindo, whose father was a Baronet, and their caring for other single women and girls. It is also concerned with Lady Ludlow's man of business, Mr Horner, and a poacher's son named Harry Gregson whose education he provides for. This book was told from the point of view of Margaret Dawson who, at the age of sixteen, was taken in by her distant cousin Lady Ludlow. During the course of this book we learn almost nothing about Margaret, except that she suffered from some physical infirmities. In many ways, Lady Ludlow was charitable and kind, but she was also unyielding in her belief that the lower classes should never be subjected to education of any kind. Lady Ludlow may be slow to change with the times, but in the last few chapters we see her natural goodness increasing as she moves into the spirit of the nineteenth century and deals with a plethora of new characters and developments. Facts and Trivia: With Cranford, The Last Generation in England and Mr. Harrison's Confessions, My Lady Ludlow was adapted for television in 2007 as Cranford, with Francesca Annis as the eponymous character, with Alex Etel as Harry Gregson and Emma Fielding as Laurentia Galindo. Mr Horner's name was changed to Mr Carter. Scroll Up and Grab Your Copy!
