"Superseded" takes place in a girl's school whose headmistress, Miss Cursiter, is a formidable and not entirely likeable woman with "an intelligence fervent with the fire of the enthusiast, cold with the renunciate's frost."

The "New York Sun" said of "Superseded," "Makes one wonder if in future years the quiet little English woman might be recognized as a new Jane Austen." "Publisher's Note: Miss Sinclair has expressed a desire to have this book republished in America, because she considers it the best of her work previous to 'The Divine Fire.' It originally appeared with another work in a volume entitled 'Two Sides of a Question,' a small imported edition of which is now exhausted.". Book.…
