An Idyl of Work is a novel written by Lucy Larcom and first published in 1875. The story is set in a rural New England town and follows the life of a young woman named Penelope who works as a weaver in a local mill. Despite the difficult and often tedious nature of her work, Penelope finds solace in her craft and takes pride in her ability to create beautiful fabrics. Along the way, she forms relationships with other women in the mill and learns valuable lessons about the importance of hard work, perseverance, and community. The novel is a celebration of the dignity of labor and the power of human connection, and it offers a unique glimpse into the lives of working-class women in the 19th century. Written in simple yet evocative prose, An Idyl of Work is a timeless tale of resilience and hope that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
