基本説明

Political satire, 'secret history' and sexual exposé; from its initial publication in 1808 Sarah Green’s "The Private History of the Court of England" was met with a divided but impassioned critical reaction. Much of this response was due to Green's scathing parody of the Prince of Wales through depicting the increasing corruption of 'heir apparent' (later Edward IV) during the troubled life of Henry VI.

Full Description

Whilst an important and under-researched example of women's writing, scholars of Romanticism and the nineteenth century will also find much value in this challenging political satire.
