Recenzii
Ferrier writes with crisp, telling details and a knack for naming characters (Mrs. Wiseacre, Lady Dull). This reprint should delight modern fans of stories of manners much as it did readers two hundred years ago
On the two hundredth anniversary of the first publication of Marriage, Edinburgh is reclaiming Susan Ferrier as the equal of Scottish greats in literature
A forgotten literary heroine - the nineteenth-century Scottish novelist Susan Edmonstone Ferrier
Following two generations of women, Marriage, first published in 1818, is a shrewdly observed, humorous novel by one of Scotland's greatest writers.
'What have you to do with a heart? What has anybody to do with a heart when their establishment in life is at stake? Keep your heart for your romances, child, and don't bring such nonsense into real life - heart, indeed!'
Understanding that the purpose of marriage is to further the prospects of her family, Lady Juliana nevertheless rejects the ageing and unattractive - though appropriately wealthy - suitor of her father's choice. She elopes with a handsome, penniless soldier, fleeing to Scotland to live at Glenfarn Castle, his paternal home. But, finding life in the Scottish highlands bleak compared to London, Lady Juliana hastily repents of following her heart.
After giving birth to twin daughters, Lady Juliana leaves Mary to the care of her sister-in-law while she returns to England with Adelaide. Sixteen years pass and Mary, under the wise care of her aunt, has developed into an educated, thoughtful young woman; Adelaide, however, has taken after their mother - she is vain and rash. The girls are now of marriageable age and Lady Juliana sends for Mary, who must leave her beloved Highland home for the glitter of London.
