520 1  "Strathallan (1816) is at once a conventional and 
       subversive romance. Alicia LeFanu is informed by the work 
       of earlier eighteenth-century society satirists such as 
       Frances Brooke and Frances Burney, yet at the same time 
       her interests coincide with those of her more immediate 
       contemporaries Scott and Austen. The novel addresses 
       several themes of adultery, obsession and inheritance. It 
       follows the fortunes of Matilda Melbourne who displays 
       virtue, delicacy, and an unwavering commitment to the 
       sometimes ruthless demands of parental authority." 
       "LeFanu's implicit referencing of Frances Sheridan's 
       examination of similar obligations in Memoirs of Miss 
       Sidney Bidulph (1761) places the novel in the context of 
       serious ongoing debates on female education and marriage. 
       Matilda's friend and confidant, Arbella Ferrars, subverts 
       the expectations of such an idealized femininity and is 
       the principle means through which the sardonic and often 
       wickedly wry observations on provincial pretensions are 
       expressed. For Arbella's disruptive brand of coquetry. 
       LeFanu is indebted to Frances Brooke's History of Lady 
       Julia Mandeville and History of Emily Montegue. 
       Notwithstanding the particular merits of this work, its 
       intertextual relation to both earlier fictions and 
       prevalent trends presents an intriguing basis upon which 
       to examine the extent of the women writer's strategic 
       engagement with the literary market."--Jacket
