About this book

Julia de Roubigné is a 1777 epistolary novel by Henry Mackenzie (1745-1831), the Edinburgh man of letters celebrated for The Man of Feeling. Told in letters, it traces a marriage destroyed by suppressed love and jealousy to a tragic close that contemporaries compared to Othello, and it carries an early attack on West Indian slavery through its hero's Martinique scenes. Burns called Mackenzie's fiction among his favourite reading, and the novel stands with the best of the sentimental school.
