Summary "The Marriage of Elinor" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Elinor, a young woman navigating her feelings for a man named Phil Compton, while also dealing with the concerns and expectations of her family, particularly her cousin John Tatham, who has been a confidant throughout her life. The book explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the complexities of romantic relationships in a changing world. At the start of the novel, John Tatham receives a letter from his relative, Mrs. Dennistoun, inquiring about Elinor's engagement and expressing her unease about the man she is set to marry. John’s initial shock reveals his deeper feelings for Elinor, as he grapples with his own disappointment and concern for her future. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Elinor is deeply in love and seeks John's support amidst societal gossip and familial duties. The opening sets the tone for a broader exploration of the interplay between personal aspirations and the judgments of those around them. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
