Margaret Oliphant was widely recognised at the time of her death as one of the great Victorian writers of fiction. Yet many of Oliphant's works remain unavailable. This novella recounts the story of Mr. and Mrs. Lycett-Landon and of what becomes of their marriage when Mr. Lycett-Landon becomes uncommunicative while on an extended business trip.

Castle Rackrent chronicles the declining fortunes and ultimate ruin of the Rackrent family through the mishandling of their estate by a series of incompetent heirs. This edition does more than any other to set this classic novel in the political, economic, and religious context of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Irish life.
