MarriageIndyPublish.com, 1847 - 440 páginas Marriage (1818) is the shrewdly observant tale of a young woman's struggles with parental authority and courtship.

This new edition features an introduction incorporating recent critical work on national identity and gender, and firmly situating the novel within the context of both Scottish literature and women's writing. |
