When Miss Milner announces her passion for her guardian, a Catholic priest, she breaks through the double barrier of religious vocation and society's standards of `proper' womanly behaviour. Her love is legitimized when Dorriforth is released from his vows, but she finds her own unorthodox nature cannot conform to a marriage where her husband continues to be a stern moral guide. With a sureness of touch that prefigures Jane Austen, Elizabeth Inchbald shows that thereis no simple answer to their predicament, and that their conflict can only be resolved in the next generation.
Elizabeth Inchbald was concerned with women's education. In this story, Inchbald's purpose was to show the value of "a proper education". She describes the disastrous marriage of Miss Milner, an empty-headed flirt, to Lord Elmwood and the effects of her behaviour on their daughter Matilda.
