Anderby Wold
1923
Published in 1923, 'Anderby Wold' by Winifred Holtby follows Mary Robson, a young woman in Yorkshire, as she navigates the challenges of managing her inherited family farm. The novel explores themes of social change, gender roles, and interpersonal relationships, particularly through Mary's interactions with her cousin John and the radical David Rossitur. As Mary grapples with her responsibilities and desires, the story highlights the tensions between tradition and modernity in early 20th-century rural England.

“Thus they had harvested at Anderby since those far off years when the Danes broke in across the headland and dyed with blood the trampled barley. Thus and thus had the workers passed, and the children waved their garlands following the last load home. Thus had Mary and other Mary Robsons before her welcomed the master of the harvest.””
— Winifred Holtby
