Description

Lady Juliana's romantic notions of love and freedom are put to the test when she elopes with her penniless Scottish beau. But as she navigates the complexities of high society, she finds that reality is far from the Highlands she imagined. Susan Ferrier's witty and satirical novel Marriage offers a sharp examination of female lives in the Regency era. This edition brings together the original 1819 text, restored to its original form without the changes made for later editions, providing a fresh and nuanced portrayal of life during this period. Edited by Dorothy McMillan and supported by extensive historical notes, this new edition captures the humour, sensitivity and elegance of Ferrier's writing, giving her a place among Scotland's notable writers.
