Linnet is a romance novel by Grant Allen, published in 1898. Set in the Tyrol region of the Alps and in London, the novel contrasts the simplicity of rural Alpine life with the sophisticated urban environment of England. It follows the rise of a Tyrolean peasant girl with a "marvelous voice" who becomes a celebrated singer, and the romantic entanglements that ensue between her, her exploitative manager, and an English poet.
