London Review of Books features the Complete Novels by Jean Stafford. Here's a comment on The Mountain Lion:

There's a wonderful portrait of an unctuous literary cleric, Mr Follansbee, whose bullying confrontations with Molly and Ralph vibrate with the same violence as when Jane Eyre talks back to Mr Brocklehurst:
What's this? Why do you wish I were a fairy, young lady?
