by Mary Shelley
Falkner tells the story of a woman's upbringing under the tyrannical figure of her father. As a six-year-old orphan, Elizabeth Raby prevents Rupert Falkner from committing suicide; Falkner later adopts her and begins working to make her a model of virtue.
"The opening scene of this tale took place in a little village on the southern coast of Cornwall. Treby (by that name we choose to designate a spot whose true one, for several reasons, will not be given) was, indeed, rather a hamlet than a village; although, being at the seaside, there were two or three houses which, by dint of green paint and chints curtains, pretended to give the accommodation of "Apartments Furnished" to the few bathers who, having heard of its cheapness, seclusion, and beauty, now and then resorted thither from the neighbouring towns."
