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 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Women|zGreat Britain|xSocial conditions|vFiction. 650 0 Parent and child|vFiction. 650 0 Women|xEducation|vFiction. 650 7 FICTION|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Manners and customs|2fast 650 7 Parent and child|2fast 650 7 Women|xEducation|2fast 650 7 Women|xSocial conditions|2fast 651 0 Great Britain|xSocial life and customs|vFiction. 651 7 Great Britain|2fast|1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/ E39PBJdmp7p3cx8hpmJ8HvmTpP 655 7 Fiction|2fast 700 1 Fitzer, Anna M. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aLefanu, Alicia, active 1812-1826. |tStrathallan (1816).|dLondon ; Brookfield, Vt. : Pickering & Chatto, 2008|z9781851969609|w(OCoLC)226976152 830 0 Chawton House library series.|pWoman's novels ;|vno. 5. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=375830|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
