Book Overview

Geraldine V1: Or, Modes Of Faith And Practice is a novel written by Mary Jane Mackenzie. The book follows the story of a young woman named Geraldine, who is torn between her religious beliefs and her desire for love and independence. The story takes place in the early 19th century in Scotland, where Geraldine is raised in a strict Presbyterian household. She becomes enamored with a young man named Charles, who is a member of the Episcopal Church. Geraldine's family disapproves of their relationship due to their differing religious beliefs, and they forbid her from seeing Charles. Geraldine struggles to reconcile her love for Charles with her faith, and she begins to question the strict religious practices of her upbringing. She turns to a variety of religious leaders and philosophers for guidance, including the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle. Through her journey, Geraldine learns about different modes of faith and practice and begins to form her own beliefs. The novel explores themes of love, faith, and independence, as well as the tensions between different religious traditions. It is a thought-provoking and engaging read that offers a unique perspective on the religious and social norms of 19th century Scotland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
