More about the book
The narrative serves as a sharp satire of feminine novel-writing, critiquing the sentimental and sensational styles prevalent in the late 18th century. Through the pseudonym Jacquetta Agneta Mariana Jenks, the author humorously targets the works published by William Lane's Minerva Press. Additionally, the book offers a biting political commentary, condemning the Tory party and William Pitt the Younger for their wartime policies, repressive laws, and disregard for the impoverished, blending literary critique with social and political issues of the time.
