James Frederick Ferrier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Ferrier was at Oxford until he received his BA in 1832; and it was during his last year there that he met Sir William Hamilton. Ferrier was narrowly defeated in his bid for this position; and, apparently unconcerned, he returned to St Andrews to complete his metaphysical treatise, the Institutes of Metaphysic. Ferrier also spends a good deal of time arguing that the notion of either ‘sensation’ in isolation from ‘intellect’ or ‘intellect’ without ‘sensation’ is a self-contradiction. www.thoemmes.com /404.asp?404;http://www.thoemmes.com/encyclopedia/ferrier.htm   (2058 words)

§1. Susan Edmonstone Ferrier. XI. Lesser Novelists. Vol. 12. The Romantic Revival. The Cambridge History of ... In the novels of Susan Edmonstone Ferrier there is something of the rough sarcasm of Smollett, mingled with a strong didactic flavour and with occasional displays of sentiment that may be due to Mackenzie. Collins is to see the difference between Jane Austen and Susan Ferrier; but the latter, with her coarse workmanship succeeds in achieving a picture full of humour. Coarse as her workmanship may be compared with that of Jane Austen, it is refined and delicate by the side of that of a remarkable woman, Frances, the mother of Anthony and Augustus, Trollope. www.bartleby.com /222/1101.html   (543 words)

SLAINTE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Susan Ferrier was born in Edinburgh on 17th September 1782, daughter of Helen Coutts and James Ferrier, a Writer to the Signet. Ferrier's didacticism and her ability to create strong women characters are echoed in the fiction of her contemporary Mary Brunton (1778-1818). In her brilliant caricatures Ferrier is probably closer in spirit to Tobias Smollet, an earlier Scottish writer of satirical novels. www.slainte.org.uk /scotauth/ferridsw.htm   (509 words)

James Frederick Ferrier Ferrier returned to Edinburgh, entered the 'Faculty of Advocates' and began work as a lawyer in 1833, but having little interest in a legal career, he continued his philosophical studies, and in 1837 published his first article in Blackwood's Magazine.

Corvey | Corinne template The review also compares Ferrier’s writing style to that of her female contemporaries suggesting that female novelists were beginning to be more widely accepted. Ferrier was extremely wary of revealing her authorship as she was unsure of the response that it would evoke, primarily in the cases of her friends and family. Ferrier read Marriage to her father and assessed his reaction before finally admitting to her secret vocation as a novelist. www.shu.ac.uk /schools/cs/corvey/corinne/1Ferrier/Ferriercriticalsurvey.htm   (376 words)

Scottish Literature 2: Susan Ferrier I look at the role of the mediating narrator; the concept of border-crossing and outsider’s views on Scotland and England; change as typified by the chapter in Edinburgh with the hint of industrialism in Bailie Broadfoot’s admiration for the glass houses of Leith (p.210); character ‘types’ and generational splits (Henry and the Laird). Though Ferrier is sometimes listed in this category, she is, in fact, satirical about aristocratic habits and not inclined to include great details unless she can use it to point up the futility and emptiness of their lifestyles. Novels of manners can be seen as about the education of a young girl, culminating in marriage, educating them for their roles in society, but it’s possible also to read some of the novels as being covertly critical of the limitations on women’s roles. www.ed.ac.uk /englit/studying/undergrd/scottish_lit_2/Handouts/ac_ferrier.htm   (1309 words)

Triangle Journals Susan Ferrier’s explorations of canonicity have paradoxically made her work resistant to feminist projects of expanding the canon. Despite her usefulness in literary-historical narratives as a token of gender balance or of national symmetry, Ferrier’s esthetic of the hackneyed has made her novels increasingly hard for even literary historians to read, or rather frustratingly easy. Ferrier’s fiction borrows not only the modular form of turn-of-the-century literary anthologies, but also their project of training readers to situate themselves within an emerging British public. www.triangle.co.uk /wow/content/pdfs/7/issue7_1.asp   (2649 words)

GO BRITANNIA! Scotland: Great Scots of Note Long before the works of the female author known as George Eliot or the Bronte sisters had appeared on the literary scene, an Edinburgh woman had been writing popular novels in which she exposed the pretensions of Scottish society in the early part of the 19th century. In the fashion of the time, Susan Ferrier's works were published anonymously; they included Marriage (1818) Inheritance (1824) and Destiny; or, The Chief's Daughter (1831). Three-time Labour prime minister of Australia (during the period 1908-15), Fisher began life in Crosshouse, Ayrshire, emigrating to Queensland in 1885 where he worked as a coal miner and union leader before being elected to the legislature in 1893. www.britannia.com /celtic/scotland/greatscots/f1.html   (1959 words)

Meet the great Scottish writers … forgotten because they’re female - [Sunday Herald] The programme, presented by author Carl MacDougall, argues that women are still marginalised in the publishing world, and that the three greatest forgotten voices were those of Susan Ferrier, Mary Brunton and Catherine Carswell. Ferrier, born in Edinburgh in 1782, wrote her masterpiece Marriage in 1818, and was an esteemed author and friend of Sir Walter Scott. “Ferrier’s novel was published anonymously … and it was assumed to be the work of Walter Scott,” said MacDougall. www.sundayherald.com /44568   (927 words)

Ferris - "Introduction" - Romantic Libraries - Praxis Series - Romantic Circles When I suggested this as a topic for a special session, I expected to receive mostly papers on representations of the library in gothic and other novels, papers that addressed the heightened persistence with which Romantic forms of fiction exploited the long-standing link in European literary representation between literacy and romance. But there proved to be an odd lack of interest in tales of falling in love over books. As it does so, it points to at least one way in which serious attention to book-objects in early nineteenth-century Britain can help rewrite some familiar accounts of literacy, literature, and Romanticism. www.rc.umd.edu /praxis/libraries/intro.html   (1599 words)

ferrier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Within the context of the late eighteenth-century novel, Ferrier is usually considered a comic (ironic) moralist. In a day in which many could not afford to travel, and few had access to the society of the very rich, what features of this novel might have served the purposes of travel narrative or social description?
