A Oliphant, Mrs. (Margaret) 1828-1897 creator Du Maurier, George 1834-1896 text utu 2017 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "A Rose in June" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Rose Damerel, the eldest daughter of a charming but somewhat ineffectual rector, Mr. Damerel, and his more practical wife, Mrs. Damerel. The narrative juxtaposes the idyllic and carefree life of Rose with the burdens and responsibilities of her mother, setting the stage for conflicts surrounding duty, family life, and the expectations placed on young women during that era. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Damerel family through the lens of a sunny summer day at their rectory, where Mr. Damerel indulges in his leisurely pursuits while his wife is burdened with managing countless household duties. Rose, described as a delicate creature full of youthful exuberance, is caught between her father's ideals of leisure and her mother's pragmatic concerns. The initial interactions in the garden reveal a peaceful yet tense atmosphere as Mrs. Damerel strives to instill a sense of responsibility in Rose, contrasting with Mr. Damerel's more relaxed approach. This opening sets up not only family dynamics but also hints at the larger societal themes that will be explored throughout the story, particularly the struggles of women in balancing personal desires against familial expectations.
