Marriage by Susan Ferrier

Marriage by Susan Ferrier

Susan Ferrier sold more copies of her novels than her contemporary, Jane Austen. Sir Walter Scott declared her his equal. On the 200th anniversary of this sharply observed, comic novel, it is time to rediscover her brilliance.

Ferrier writes with crisp, telling details and a knack for naming characters (MrsWiseacre, Lady Dull). This reprint should delight modern fans of stories of manners much as it did readers two hundred years ago * Publishers Weekly *

Susan Edmonstone Ferrier (1782-1854) was a Scottish novelist born in Edinburgh. Her novels explored vivid accounts of Scottish life and presented sharp views on women's education which remained popular throughout the nineteenth century.

She wrote Marriage, The Inheritance and Destiny, and was, in her day, more widely read than her contemporary Jane Austen. She died in 1854.
