Product Description
Poetess, fallen woman and wit, Laetitia Pilkington spent her life as close to fame as she was near to ruin. Favoured by, among others, the newly celebrated Jonathan Swift in Ireland in the 1730s, she collected stories and developed the brazen femininity that would be her only currency in London a decade later. Divorced by her husband after she was exposed as an adulteress, she led a life of precarious self-sufficiency. Through humour, intelligence and her skilful use of scandal, she survived on the very fringes of respectability.All of our books are second hand, and while you may not get the exact copy shown in the picture, all of our books are in very good condition.
