This novel, begun in January 1814 and completed in March the following year was published in 1816. The author said that she feared that nobody but herself would like the heroine, an indication that she had deliberately subdued the high-spirited comedy of manners practiced in earlier novels to offer instead a study in development and education. (Cambridge Guide to Literature in English). Keynes 14.
