The Making of a Marchioness (1901)
It was originally published in two parts: the first tells the fairy tale-like
story of how our heroine, Emily Fox-Seton, became the Marchioness of
Walderhurst. The second, originally titled The Methods of Lady Walderhurst, is
a down-to-earth portrayal of the realities of Victorian marriage, with a bit
of a Victorian sensation vibe to it.

The Shuttle (1907)
It was begun in 1900 but frequently abandoned while its author, Frances
Hodgson Burnett, wrote several other books, including, most famously, The
Making of a Marchioness. The Shuttle is about American heiresses marrying
English aristocrats; by extension it is about the effect of American energy
and dynamism rejuvenating a somewhat decadent English aristocracy: Rosalie
Vanderpoel, the daughter of an American multimillionaire marries an
impoverished English baronet and goes to live in England. She all but loses
contact with her family in America. Years later her younger sister Bettina,
beautiful, intelligent and extremely rich, goes to England to find what has
happened to her sister. She finds Rosalie shabby and dispirited, cowed by her
husband's ill treatment. Bettina sets about to rectify matters...

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849 – 1924) was an English-American playwright
and author. She is best known for her children's stories, in particular Little
Lord Fauntleroy , A Little Princess, and The Secret Garden.
