This book contributes to the literary history of eighteenth-century
women's life writings, particularly those labeled "scandalous
memoirs." It examines how the evolution of this subgenre was shaped
partially by several innovative memoirs that have received only
modest critical attention. Breashears argues that Madame de La
Touche's Apologie and her friend Lady Vane's Memoirs contributed to
the crystallization of this sub-genre at mid-century, and that Lady
Vane's collaboration with Tobias Smollett in The Adventures of
Peregrine Pickle resulted in a brilliant experiment in the
relationship between gender and genre. It demonstrates that the
Memoirs of Catherine Jemmat incorporated influential new strategies
for self-justification in response to changing kinship priorities,
and that Margaret Coghlan's Memoirs introduced revolutionary themes
that created a hybrid: the political scandalous memoir. This book
will therefore appeal to scholars interested in life writing,
women's history, genre theory, and eighteenth-century British
literature.
