Title: A Lady of Quality Author: Frances Hodgson Burnett ISBN: 978-93-6561-371-1 Format: Paperback Pages: 218 Edition: 2026 Genre: Fiction / Historical Fiction / British Literature / Women’s Classics
Description
A Lady of Quality follows the compelling and unconventional life of Clorinda Wildairs—a woman whose fierce pride and bold will defy the constraints of eighteenth-century society. From her difficult childhood to her emergence as a striking figure of intelligence and determination, Clorinda’s journey becomes a vivid study of independence and moral complexity.
Framed as a “most curious, hitherto unknown history” and connected to the world of The Tatler, Burnett blends keen social insight with emotional depth. Themes of agency, justice, desire, and personal transformation give the novel enduring resonance. This modern 2026 edition under Aedha Imprints brings renewed clarity to Burnett’s prose, offering today’s readers an elegant gateway into a powerful classic.
