When Miss Milner announces her passion for her guardian, a Catholic
priest, she breaks through the double barrier of religious vocation
and society's standards of `proper' womanly behaviour. Her love is
legitimized when Dorriforth is released from his vows, but she
finds her own unorthodox nature cannot conform to a marriage where
her husband continues to be a stern moral guide. With a surenees of
touch that prefigures Jane Austen, Elizabeth Inchbald shows that
there is no simple answer to their predicament, and that their
conflict can only be resolved in the next generation. ABOUT THE
