This first critical collection on Delarivier Manley revisits the
most heated discussions, adds new perspectives in light of growing
awareness of Manley's multifaceted contributions to
eighteenth-century literature, and demonstrates the wide range of
thinking about her literary production and significance. While
contributors reconsider some well-known texts through her generic
intertextuality or unresolved political moments, the volume focuses
more on those works that have had less attention: dramas,
correspondence, journalistic endeavors, and late prose fiction. The
methodological approaches incorporate traditional investigations of
Manley, such as historical research, gender theory, and comparative
close readings, as well as some recently influential theories, like
geocriticism and affect studies. This book forges new paths in the
many underdeveloped directions in Manley scholarship, including her
work's exploration of foreign locales, the power dynamics between
individuals and in relation to states, sexuality beyond
heteronormativity, and the shifting operations and influences of
genre. While it draws on previous writing about Manley's engagement
with Whig/Tory politics, gender, and queerness, it also argues for
Manley's contributions as a writer with wide-ranging knowledge of
both the inner sanctums of London and the outer developing British
Empire, an astute reader of politics, a sophisticated explorer of
emotional and gender dynamics, and a flexible and clever stylist.
In contrast to the many ways Manley has been too easily dismissed,
this collection carefully considers many points of view, and opens
the way for new analyses of Manley's life, work, and vital
contributions to the full range of forms in which she wrote.
