ABSTRACT
This is a novel virtually forgotten by modern readers, but one that deserves reassessment with this critical edition. Raised by guardians, Louisa’s fate is intertwined with the neighbouring Stanley family, including the jealous younger daughter, Armida – whose husband Lord Belmour openly admires Louisa and which propels the plot forward.
