Sarah Fielding was one of the most respected women authors of her
generation and a key figure in the development of the novel. She
was admired especially by Samuel Richardson, who famously commented
that her 'knowledge of the human heart' was greater than that of
her brother, the novelist Henry Fielding. This edition revives The
Countess of Dellwyn, the only one of Sarah Fielding's major works
not previously available in a modern scholarly edition. The novel
is satirical and didactic, taking as its targets fashionable life
and modern marriage (and scandalous divorce) and narrated with
acerbic wit by its anonymous third-person narrator. This edition
benefits greatly from Gillian Skinner's editorial work and it is a
book that will be of great interest to researchers into the
eighteenth-century novel and women's writing of the period
worldwide.
