Faced with the prospect of marriage to an elderly, red-haired,
squinting Duke, the passionate Lady Juliana elopes with her
penniless Scottish beau. But what happens when this high-born,
high-bred society beauty's romantic notions of the Highlands of
Scotland meet cold, damp reality? Susan Ferrier's 1818 novel
Marriage is a witty and satirical examination of female lives in
the Regency era. This edition takes the 1819 second edition of
Marriage as its base text, incorporating those changes which
Ferrier made when the work was fresh and sharp, but refusing the
bowdlerisation and sentimental sugar of the 1841 edition, suited
for Victorian tastes and moralities. Edited and introduced by
Dorothy McMillan, and supported by extensive historical notes, this
new edition captures the humour, sensitivity and elegance of the
original bestselling novel, and gives Ferrier her proper place
among Scotland's notable writers.
