Discipline, the second novel by the Scottish writer Mary Brunton
(1778-1818), was published in 1814. While less well known than its
predecessor Self-Control (1811), it is nonetheless equally
deserving of a central place in the canon of Romantic-era fiction.
A wide-ranging novel, it shares many themes with contemporary
fiction such as women's difficulties in earning money and the
horror of being falsely imprisoned in an insane asylum. However, it
is Discipline's innovative attempt at psychological realism that
sets it apart from its contemporaries. Through the moral growth of
its heroine Ellen Percy, Discipline insists on women's
self-determination, and their ability to become rational agents in
a world that treats them as objects merely of desire or contempt.
This edition is edited by Olivia Murphy who has added careful
editorial notes and an insightful new introduction to the text.
