First published in 1896, A Lady of Quality may have had its beginning "in a dark back chamber, revealed at the end of one of the corridors by the chance scratching of a match" in Portland Place, where Frances Hodgson Burnett was living. The house had a large basement area with long underground passages leading out to the Mews behind, about which Burnett is said to have remarked, "What a place to hide the body of a man you had accidentally killed." Thought of as a departure from her previous work, and set in the early Eighteenth Century, the body in question turns out to be that of Sir John Oxon, killed with riding whip by the book's heroine, Clorinda Wildairs: A Lady of Quality is a novel about the invincibility of the human spirit, the refusal of a woman to be mild and submissive, the acceptance of all experience, and courage born of adversity.

Frances Hodgson Burnett's 'A Lady of Quality' is a novel that tells the story of Clorinda Wildairs, a remarkable woman born in 1690 to a neglectful father and an unloving mother. Clorinda's childhood was unconventional; she was raised by her father's servants who taught her how to ride, swear, and drink at a young age. Despite this, Clorinda aspires to escape her way of life and become a genteel woman. Eventually, she transforms herself into the most sought-after beauty of her time, as is her birthright.
