Love’s Provocations is a collection of short stories and essays on the subject of love, written by the English author Cuthbert Bede and originally published in 1855. The book presents a series of vignettes that explore the many different forms that love can take, from romantic love to familial love, and from unrequited love to the love of nature and beauty. Each story is told with wit, charm, and a keen eye for human nature, and the book as a whole offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural mores of Victorian England. The stories are accompanied by illustrations that capture the spirit of the era, and the book is a delightful read for anyone interested in the history of love and romance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
