Books with title A Rebellious Heroine

The book is about a man writing a realist romance novel in which his main character (not coincidentally named Marguerite) is aware that she is being written about and is destined to be a part of a romance novel and fall in love with someone whom she detests. The heroine continually ruins the author's plans by attempting to exert his will over her; she refuses to love anyone other than the one she loves. The author then breaks down into madness and consults his friend, who turns out is the narrator of the story. The narrator, who is chronicling the events of the author, becomes furious at Marguerite, so he attempts to "punish" her physically; she is able to see past this and avoid being hurt. It turns out his friend and author becomes angry and threatens to murder the narrator if he attempts to harm her again. It continues like this for a while and becomes more bizarre as the narrator becomes the subject of Marguerite's writing and is threatened to be forced to be a puppet in her novel.

He affected to say that he did not write his books; that he merely transcribed them from life as he saw it, and he insisted always that he saw life as it was. "The mission of the novelist, my dear Professor," he had once been heard to say at his club, "is not to amuse merely; his work is that of an historian, and he should be quite as careful to write truthfully as is the historian. How is the future to know what manner of lives we nineteenth century people have lived unless our novelists tell the truth?"
