Amelia Alderson Opie (1769-1853) was an English poet and novelist who also wrote songs, short stories, and works for children. Born in Norwich, she was married to the artist John Opie. She moved easily in literary and artistic circles and in high social circles in England and France. She was a close friend of the Gurney family, members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and was greatly influenced by and involved with their good works -- the prison reforms of Elizabeth Fry (nee Gurney) and the anti-slavery campaigning of Hannah Gurney's husband, Thomas Fowell Buxton. Under the influence of J.J. Gurney, Amelia Opie became a Quaker in 1825.

To be a heroine is to be beautiful—such has been the unstated assumption from the time of chivalric romance to that of Harlequin romance. But this ideology of ‘the beauty myth’ was challenged as early as 1801 with the publication of this extraordinary epistolary novel-romance. Something New explores sexual roles and questions with subtlety and astonishingly modern insight the prevailing ‘rights’ of men over women, and their respective attitudes towards one another. The book explores how issues of beauty, femininity and self-support are central to the main character, Olivia, and her suitor Lionel. Lionel, who has always been ‘the devoted slave of beauty,’ becomes convinced that marriage to the ‘proverbially plain’ Olivia will lead them to ‘a little paradise on earth.’ Do they attain this paradise? The resolution to this romance retains the power to surprise the reader as much today as it did when Something New was first published.
