| Summary | "Ellen Middleton—A Tale" by Georgiana Fullerton is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Ellen Middleton, a young woman whose life spirals into turmoil due to a tragic accident involving her cousin, Julia, which shatters her childhood innocence and peace. Themes of guilt, moral struggle, and the quest for redemption appear to be integral to the narrative, exploring the emotional and spiritual challenges that Ellen faces as she grapples with her past. The opening of the novel introduces Mr. Lacy, a respected clergyman, who notices a sorrowful woman in mourning attending church services with a haggard demeanor. His curiosity about her leads to a conversation with Mr. Lacy's acquaintance, Mrs. Denley, revealing that the woman, Mrs. Rodney, has been ill and is resistant to receiving help. This sets the stage for the central narrative conflict, alluded to in Ellen's own tragic past, where she drastically alters her life through an accidental act of violence against her cousin. As Ellen's grief and guilt consume her, the storyline hints at deep psychological struggles and a quest for spiritual comfort amidst her haunted consciousness.
