Sneak Peek “Love is a passion that has been much talked of, often described, and little understood” Synopsis Susan Ferrier's first novel 'Marriage' was published in 1818. It tells the story of an English heiress, Lady Juliana, who elopes with an impoverished Scot, Henry Douglas, and has to adjust to living in a run-down castle in the Highlands. Ferrier came from a family which was well-known in Edinburgh 'society' — the few hundred people who formed the social elite of the time. Like Jane Austen and fellow Scottish author Mary Brunton, Susan Ferrier chose to publish all of her books anonymously. There are several possible reasons for this. Firstly, at this time it was not considered appropriate for women to have a public role in their own right. It was more acceptable for a woman to play a supportive role to the men in her family. For this reason, Susan Ferrier may not have wanted to draw attention to herself as a writer.
