| Summary | "Muslin" by George Moore is a novel originally published under the title "A Drama in Muslin" during the late 19th century. The book explores themes of social conventions, marriage, and female agency, particularly through the character of Alice Barton, the eldest daughter of a family navigating the complexities of society and relationships. The narrative touches upon Alice's emergence from a convent education into the world of adulthood, emphasizing her interactions with peers, family, and potential suitors. The opening of "Muslin" paints a vibrant picture of the convent where the schoolgirls are preparing for a prize day, filled with excitement and innocence. The character of Alice is introduced as a thoughtful and somewhat plain girl, who writes a play entitled "King Cophetua" that is to be performed at the event. The interactions between Alice, her sisters, and her schoolmates reveal a mix of ambition, rivalry, and social expectations as they all eagerly look forward to their upcoming experiences in the wider social world. Through the festival atmosphere and the budding relationships, the opening establishes the themes of transition and the challenges facing young women as they confront societal norms.
