This scathing attack on Victorian hypocrisy follows four generations of the Pontifex family, centering on Ernest Pontifex's turbulent journey from oppressive childhood to troubled adulthood. Dominated by hypocritical parents and navigating theological crises, prison, a disastrous marriage, and eventual liberation, Ernest's story captured the anti-Victorian sentiment of its time, earning recognition as a landmark English novel.
