Abstract or Introduction

In this essay I am going to write about the main theme in “Prelude to Christopher” and its contemporary role when Eleanor Dark wrote the novel till 1933, including the social and cultural factors influenced her motives to write.
“Prelude to Christopher” is a novel which was first published in 1934. The plot is told in a very economic and clear time span of four days in the small and conservative country town Balleena and the story begins with an accident of Nigel Hendon, the husband of Linda, on Tuesday and finally ends with the suicide of Linda on Thursday.
