quote
  • "As [Ross] rose, he was conscious that his wife's charm and attraction had not been lessened by three years of trial and near poverty. At times it got itself hidden under the everyday mask of work and the routine of living, but this made its emergence all the more startling. At such moments he recognized with instant attention the quality in her that made her attractive to so many men." (en)
  • "[Ross's] realization again of the facade of mining expectations he had erected on the chance words of this man, uttered four years ago, shook his confidence in himself and in his own judgment. He bitterly blamed himself for his rash overconfidence, for an enthusiasm which in the light of experience looked wanton and silly. He had thrown away a profitable investment in a mine of his own starting and had poured everything he had, and persuaded Francis to do likewise, into a played-out-mine which had failed his father a quarter of a century ago." (en)
  • "Since the execution of Marie Antoinette, people had become inured to the bloodstained horrors of Paris. The French had gone mad, that was plain. And England was at war. That was the main thing. What fighting there had been had been disappointing and inconclusive, almost as if the combatants hadn't yet got their hearts in it. But even that was a relief to overburdened feelings. More would follow. England was at war. Eventually the insanity would be purged. It was only a matter of time now." (en)
  • "It was not only Elizabeth that she [Demelza] could have killed, but Ross. She could have thrown every piece of crockery at him, and knives and forks too. Indeed she could have attacked him knife in hand. Fundamentally there was nothing meek or mild about her. She was a fighter, and it showed now." (en)

  • Warleggan is the fourth of twelve novels in Poldark, a series of historical novels by Winston Graham. It was published in 1953. Warleggan continues the story of the Poldark marriage and family. The previous novel in the series (Jeremy Poldark) ends on an upbeat in June 1791 with the birth of Jeremy Poldark and a reconciliation and partnership between Francis and Ross Poldark. Warleggan closes on Christmas of 1793 with Elizabeth married to George Warleggan, Dwight Enys engaged to Caroline Penvenen and the marriage of Ross and Demelza on the mend. The main developments in the novel are the tragic death of Francis Poldark, a sexual interaction between Ross and Elizabeth that a number of commentators regard as rape, Elizabeth's marriage to George Warleggan, the near-destruction of Ross's marriage to Demelza, and ups-and-downs in the passionate relationship between Dwight Enys and Caroline Penvenen. These take place against the backdrop of the French Revolution and England going to war. (en)

Warleggan si chiude nel Natale del 1793 con Elizabeth sposata con George Warleggan, Dwight Enys fidanzato con Caroline Penvenen ed il matrimonio di Ross e Demelza in via di guarigione. I principali sviluppi nel romanzo sono la tragica morte di Francis Poldark, un'interazione sessuale tra Ross ed Elizabeth che molti commentatori considerano uno stupro, il matrimonio di Elizabeth con George Warleggan, la quasi distruzione del matrimonio di Ross con Demelza ed alti e bassi nella relazione appassionata tra Dwight Enys e Caroline Penvenen. Questi fatti si svolgono sullo sfondo della rivoluzione francese e dell'Inghilterra che va in guerra. (it)
