Secret history, with its claim to expose secrets of state and the
sexual intrigues of monarchs and ministers, alarmed and thrilled
readers across Europe and America from the mid-seventeenth to the
mid-nineteenth century. Scholars have recognised for some time the
important position that the genre occupies within the literary and
political culture of the Enlightenment. Of interest to students of
British, French and American literature, as well as political and
intellectual history, this new volume of essays demonstrates for
the first time the extent of secret history's interaction with
different literary traditions, including epic poetry, Restoration
drama, periodicals, and slave narratives. It reveals secret
history's impact on authors, readers, and the book trade in
England, France, and America throughout the long eighteenth
century. In doing so, it offers a case study for approaching
questions of genre at moments when political and cultural shifts
put strain on traditional generic categories.
