“THE INHERITANCE is, then, a novel concerned with questions of morality and education, but also national identity, the differences between Scottish and English cultures, and the stereotypes within human nature that both divide and unite the two. It is also very funny”

—The Books & Borrowing 1750–1830 Project on Susan Ferrier’s second novel, THE INHERITANCE

“Miss Ferrier avowedly made thumb-nail sketches,—as is proved in one of the few surviving letters to or from her,—out of which grew the merciless caricatures that created her fame”

An 1893 article in The Atlantic Magazine, contrasting the careers of Susan Ferrier & Jane Austen

We republished Susan Ferrier’s MARRIAGE in 2020—using the text of the acid-sharp 1819 edition rather than the sentimentalised Victorian version of 1842. Read the first chapter free online here:

“Nothing could be so delightful as the style of living in Scotland; the people were so frank & gay, & the manners so easy & engaging…”

—Susan Ferrier’s MARRIAGE looks at what happens when #romantic notions of the Scottish #Highlands meet cold, damp reality…

Susan Ferrier (1782–1854) was born #OTD, 7 Sept. Her 3 novels—Marriage, The Inheritance, & Destiny—are vivid & humorous accounts of Scottish society. Often compared to her contemporary #JaneAusten, Ferrier’s satires are much more vicious…
