Emily Eden was the daughter of the 1st Baron Auckland, a close confidant of Pitt. She was thus well placed to observe the manners and mores of nineteenth century aristocracy. A huge admirer of Jane Austen, her works reflect this in their perception, tongue in cheek humour and benevolence toward the victims of her pen. 'The Semi Attached Couple' is a revealing insight of attitudes and customs within marriage.

The adjustment of a marriage in aristocratic society in the early 1800s is told with abundant humor. A young coupel falls passionately in love, but soon the realities of married life bring them and their dreams back down to earth. The author, Emily Eden, has often been compared to Jane Austen but with Eden's work showing perhaps a morel realistic look at the ups and downs of the human condition. And if you just look closely, you might see some characters who possibly later influenced Oscar Wilde.
