Lolly Willowes: or, the Loving Huntsman

Lolly Willowes: or, the Loving Huntsman

by Sylvia Townsend Warner

Lolly Willowes, a middle-aged unmarried woman, finds herself stifled by her controlling family and the expectations of Victorian society. Seeking freedom and self-discovery, she escapes to a remote English village where she embraces a life of solitude and, unexpectedly, witchcraft. The novel humorously explores themes of societal constraints, female agency, and the liberating power of embracing one's true self, challenging the traditional norms of the time.
