I haven't read all of these, I've read about 6 of the stories for one of my uni modules, but I liked the ones I've had to study so I'm going to continue on with the others at some point

What I take away from this collection of short stories, more than anything, is how some things never change. There’s a timelessness to the characters, themes, and situations that make you forget that the stories were written a hundred years ago (words like “brougham” and “petticoat” notwithstanding). Many of the stories have a “day in the life” type feel to them, emphasizing the small, fleeting moments in a person’s life.
