In 1906, two years after the appearance of her best-known novel,
The Imperialist, Duncan published its darker twin, an Anglo-Indian
novel which returns to political themes but with a deeper and more
clinical irony than in her previous work. Set in Authority is about
illusions: the imperial illusions of those who rule and are ruled;
the illusions of families about their members; the illusions of men
and women about each other. The setting moves between the political
drawing rooms of London and the English station at Pilaghur in the
province of Ghoom, where the murder of a native by an English
soldier changes the lives of a cast of ruthlessly observed
characters. Duncan, who grew up in Ontario, led a remarkably varied
life, working as a political correspondent (writing for the
Washington Post, the Toronto Globe and the Montreal Star) and
living in India for over twenty years. She is increasingly being
regarded as deserving of a place among the first rank of
nineteenth- and early twentieth-century novelists; the
re-publication of Set in Authority will do nothing to dispel that
view.
