Résumé

This carefully crafted ebook: “The Making of a Marchioness + The Shuttle (2 Unabridged Classic Romances)” contains 2 books in one volume and is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.

The Making of a Marchioness (1901)
It was originally published in two parts: the first tells the fairy tale-like story of how our heroine, Emily Fox-Seton, became the Marchioness of Walderhurst. The second, originally titled The Methods of Lady Walderhurst, is a down-to-earth portrayal of the realities of Victorian marriage, with a bit of a Victorian sensation vibe to it.

The Shuttle (1907)
It was begun in 1900 but frequently abandoned while its author, Frances Hodgson Burnett, wrote several other books, including, most famously, The Making of a Marchioness. The Shuttle is about American heiresses marrying English aristocrats; by extension it is about the effect of American energy and dynamism rejuvenating a somewhat decadent English aristocracy: Rosalie Vanderpoel, the daughter of an American multimillionaire marries an impoverished English baronet and goes to live in England. She all but loses contact with her family in America. Years later her younger sister Bettina, beautiful, intelligent and extremely rich, goes to England to find what has happened to her sister. She finds Rosalie shabby and dispirited, cowed by her husband's ill treatment. Bettina sets about to rectify matters...

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849 – 1924) was an English-American playwright and author. She is best known for her children's stories, in particular Little Lord Fauntleroy , A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden.

Auteur

  • Née en 1849 en Angleterre, Frances Hodgson Burnett perdit son père quand elle avait quatre ans et connut alors la misère, jusqu'à l'émigration de sa famille en Amérique. Ces éléments sont très présents dans la quarantaine de romans qu'elle écrira au cours de sa vie (Une petite Princesse, Le jardin secret, Le petit Lord Fauntleroy) où fortune et misère modèlent les destins, où s'affrontent la modernité américaine et l'archaïsme de l'Angleterre.
