The two Scottish female novelists who outsold and inspired Jane Austen
They are practically unknown today ,but Susan Ferrier and Mary Brunton gave Jane Austen a run for her money.

Looking forward to teaching Austen’s Teenage Writings for the first time this afternoon - and delighted to have a piece on Austen’s Scottish female contemporaries published in @uk.theconversation.com this morning!
