But when she discovers the novels that ignite her imagination and challenge her reality, she begins to question the limitations of her existence. George Moore, an Irish novelist, penned A Mummers Wife as his second novel, only for it to be rejected by the circulating libraries that promoted mainstream, moral works. This rejection sparked public curiosity, leading to 14 editions sold in just one year. The controversy surrounding the book was so intense that it resulted in a court case against Moores publisher over what constituted moral literature. (Summary by Stav Nisser)
