It could have been a good Victorian novel, but was cluttered with too much description and complex religious conflicts that were of no interest. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0192817523, Paperback)

Robert Elsmere was the most successful novel of its age. Published in 1888, it tells movingly of a young clergyman whose loss of faith puts a great strain on his marriage to a staunchly evangelical wife. Tolstoy thought Mrs. Ward the greatest English novelist of her time.
