Elinor Wyllys is a novel written by Susan Fenimore Cooper and is the first volume of a two-part series. The story revolves around the lives of two women, Elinor Wyllys and Jane Benson, who are close friends and share a deep bond. Elinor is a beautiful and intelligent woman who is admired by many, while Jane is a kind-hearted and loyal friend who is always there for Elinor.The novel is set in the early 19th century in a small town in New York. It explores the social norms and customs of the time, including the roles and expectations of women in society. The story follows the lives of Elinor and Jane as they navigate through love, friendship, and societal pressures.Elinor is pursued by two suitors, Mr. Graham and Mr. Henley, who both have different personalities and intentions. She must choose between them while also dealing with the pressures of her family and society. Meanwhile, Jane falls in love with a young lawyer named Mr. Ellsworth, but their relationship is complicated by his past and his family's disapproval.Throughout the novel, the themes of love, friendship, loyalty, and societal expectations are explored in depth. The characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging, making it a classic novel in American literature.Jane, too, left Elinor a few days later; and Miss Wyllys, who had charge of her--as Mr. and Mrs. Graham lived in Charleston--placed her at one of the fashionable boarding schools of New York. Miss Adeline Taylor had, in the mean time, informed her parents that she had changed her mind as to the school which was to have the honour of completing her education: she should NOT return to Mrs. A-----'s, but go to Mrs. G-----'s--.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
