  Elinor Wyllys: The Story of Susan Fenimore Cooper's Novel
Elinor is an orphan brought up quietly by her grandfather, a country gentleman of intellectual tastes, and by a devoted maiden aunt who runs the Wyllys household.
Elinor's response to this affliction is conditioned by a long posthumous letter, written by her dying mother years before and given to her as the story opens, advising her to accept cheerfully the ugly appearance that will be her lot, and if necessary the unmarried life to which it may condemn her (I:XX, 204-11).
Though Elinor is granted a fictional happy ending, the restoration of her looks is not included; in an authorial aside, Susan notes that "the days are past, when benevolent fairies arrive just at the important moment, and...change the coarsest features, the most unfavorable complexion, into a dazzling image of everything...most beautiful....

 Chapter 1--Sense and Sensibility
Elinor Dashwood learns that Edward Ferrars, who has made tacit love to her, is bound by an early and secret engagement to a young woman of inferior breeding called Lucy Steele.
Elinor Dashwood is the personification of good sense and right feeling, and the instructress by precept and example of her impetuous and incautious mother and sister.
Elinor, moreover, has strong affections and even keen sensibilities, though, like captive princesses, the most they can do is to flutter a signal or drop a rose through the gratings of the tower in which her judgment has confined them.

 Susan Fenimore Cooper
But she also wrote a novel, Elinor Wyllys; or, The Young Folk of Longbridge (1846), short stories, children's stories, and articles on a wide variety of subjects including nature.
It is nevertheless good reading, combining two sub-plots: one romantic (the trials and eventual happiness of the orphaned Elinor, who has every good quality but good looks, and of her childhood companion Harry Hazlehurst), and one a mystery (an imposter claims a family fortune, setting off a search for evidence and a climactic courtroom scene).
Unlike other "sentimental novels" of the period, Elinor Wyllys is opposed to consumer culture, which may help explain its lack of success at the time.
