About This Item
Peterborough, ON: Broadview Press, 1999. Soft cover. Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Delarivier Manley is increasingly coming to the fore as a prominent figure in early 18th 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 leve, 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 women, writer and whore, and refusing to confuse chastity with moral integrity.
