Temper, or, Domestic Scenes

Temper, or, Domestic Scenes is a three-volume novel by Amelia Opie that was published in 1812 and 1813. It explores issues concerning mother-daughter relationships, female education, and the unfairness of patriarchal marriage customs. Opie set part of the novel in Paris (which she had visited in 1802), where her characters take what is 'tantamount to a tourist trip around places of revolutionary bloodshed'. rdf:langString
