Queen Eleanor and Fair Rosamond - A Broadview Anthology of British Literature Edition

Queen Eleanor and Fair Rosamond—among the most compelling and thought-provoking of Margaret Oliphant’s works of short fiction—tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Lycett-Landon, “two middle-aged people in the fullness of life and prosperity,” and of what becomes of their marriage when Mr. Lycett-Landon becomes uncommunicative while on an extended business trip.

In addition to an illuminating introduction, this edition includes a variety of background materials that help to set this extraordinary work in its literary and historical context.
