“Nothing could be so delightful as the style of living in Scotland; the people were so frank & gay, & the manners so easy & engaging…”
Ferrier’s first novel, 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦 (1818), looks at what happens when romantic notions of the Highlands meet cold, damp reality…

“It is a truth universally acknowledged…”
Susan Ferrier’s 2nd novel 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 (1824) starts with a nod & wink to Jane Austen’s 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 (1813). In 1818, Blackwood’s paid £150 for 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦; it is a testament to Ferrier’s popularity that they paid £1000 for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦

Susan Ferrier (1782–1854) was born #OTD, 7 Sept. Her 3 novels – 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, & 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 – are vivid & humorous accounts of Scottish society. Often compared to her contemporary Jane Austen, Ferrier’s satires are much more vicious…

"Moonlight, Study," Fanny Churberg, 1878.
Churberg (1845-92) was a Finnish landscape painter.
The daughter of a doctor and fiercely proud of her Finnish heritage, she began artistic training in 1865 after the deaths of both her parents, and moving in with an aunt, along with her brothers. She was an industrious painter, doing 300 canvases in a 15-year career.
While her style was strictly in the Dusseldorf School (an extension of the Romantic movement, with a focus on meticulously detailed landscapes, often with religious or moral allegory), she did differ from them a slight bit with her short brushstrokes and energetic style. She was passionate about the Finnish landscape and sought to translate such events as an approaching thunderstorm, or moonlight on a cloudy night, as accurately as possible.
She stopped painting in 1880; some say it was her own declining health and the death of her brother Torsten from TB. Others say it was harsh reviews of her work. But she remained involved in the artistic world, encouraging other painters, until her death at 46,
She has been rediscovered in the last 20 years and now is valued for her passionate depictions of turbulent nature.
From the Finnish National Gallery, Helsinki.

Alan Sharp’s ROB ROY also includes John Hurt’s fantastic turn as James Graham, Marquess of Montrose, & Tim Roth as the vicious dandy Archibald Cunningham. Although Archie is fictional (& framed as English in the film, despite his Scottish name), he is based on a real Scot who defeated Rob Roy in a duel: Henry Cunningham of Boquhan
