- Title
Scandal and Survival in Nineteenth‐Century Scotland: The Life of Jane Cumming.
- Abstract
Although Singh set out to find Jane's voice, what is compelling about this work is that it finds multiple Janes, each the product of a different observer's perception - including that of Singh. Chapters 2 and 3 chronicle a series of rejections by family and teachers that Singh suggests may have turned an already insecure Jane bitter and vengeful. In 1810, Jane Cumming informed her grandmother that she had witnessed two teachers at her Edinburgh boarding school engage in a sexual relationship.
