The Myopes is a novel written by Marmaduke William Pickthall and published in 1907. The story is set in the late 19th century in a small English village and follows the lives of a group of people who are all struggling to find their place in society. The central character is a young woman named Muriel, who is a member of a wealthy family but feels stifled by the social expectations placed upon her. She becomes involved with a group of artists and intellectuals who challenge her worldview and introduce her to new ideas and ways of living. However, Muriel’s unconventional behavior puts her at odds with her family and the conservative values of the community. The novel explores themes of individualism, social conformity, and the tension between tradition and modernity. Pickthall’s writing is characterized by his attention to detail and his nuanced portrayal of complex characters. The Myopes is considered a classic of early 20th-century literature and remains a thought-provoking read to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
