Product Description

Sold, a legal prostitute in marriage at 15, Charlotte Smith left her husband to support their children as a novelist. Combative and witty, she became a radical, controversial, and popular author at the time when the French Revolution raised high hopes of reform; she had a lasting influence on the adolescent Jane Austen. Loraine Fletcher's vivid biography is as readable for the newcomer to the 1790s as for the specialist, tracing an embattled life portrayed in self-dramatizing fiction.
