To-morrow? by Victoria Cross (pseudonym of Annie Sophie Cory) is a 1904 novel that delves into the intricate interplay between artistic ambition, personal desire, and societal expectations. Set in early 20th-century England, the narrative follows Victor, a passionate yet struggling writer whose manuscripts are consistently rejected due to their unconventional religious views and critiques of societal norms. His engagement to his cousin Lucia, an aspiring artist, adds complexity to his life, as he grapples with the tension between his creative pursuits and romantic aspirations.
The novel explores Victor's internal conflicts as he strives for literary success while adhering to a promise made to his father: to achieve publication before marrying Lucia. This commitment leads him to suppress his physical desires, fearing that intimacy might awaken passions he cannot fulfill.
To-morrow? is emblematic of the New Woman literature movement, challenging traditional gender roles and advocating for women's autonomy. Through its portrayal of Victor and Lucia's relationship, the novel examines themes of love, ambition, and the sacrifices made in pursuit of personal and artistic fulfillment.
