Returning home to tend her widowed father Dr Marjoribanks, Lucilla soon launches
herself into Carlingford society, aiming to raise the tone with her select
Thursday evening parties. Optimistic, resourceful and blithely unimpeded by
self-doubt, Lucilla is a superior being in every way, not least in relation to
men. 'A tour de force...full of wit, surprises and intrigue...We can imagine
Jane Austen reading MISS MARJORIBANKS with enjoyment and approval in the Elysian
Fields' - Q. D. Leavis. Leavisdeclared Oliphant's heroine Lucilla to be the
missing link in Victorian literature between Jane Austen's Emma and George
Eliot's Dorothea Brook and 'more entertaining, more impressive and more likeable
than either'.
