Reviews
“This literary history of "scandalous" memoirs will make a significant contribution to our knowledge and understanding of generic innovations in women's memoirs and the interactions between life writing and fiction in the eighteenth century. It will be valuable reading for scholars of gender and genre and students working on women's writing, life writing, and the novel.” (Dr Amy Culley, University of Lincoln, UK)
