Delarivier Manley is increasingly coming to the fore as a prominent
figure in early eighteenth-century fiction, and The Adventures of
Rivella in particular has been attracting attention not only as an
important example of amatory fiction, but also as an early
autobiographical novel. At one level, Sir Charles Lovemore tells
the story of Rivella's life to his friend, the Chevalier d'Aumont;
at another, Manley uses the male persona to portray herself as an
unrivalled literary goddess of love, repudiating conventional
equations of woman, writer, and whore, and refusing to confuse
chastity with moral integrity.
