A propos de cet article

xlvi, 182; [2], 225, [1] ads; [2], 230pp, engraved frontispiece erroneously inserted in vol. III by the binder. 12mo. Lightly foxed & sl, browning. Contemporary mottled sheep, spines lettered & tooled in gilt, pink e.ps; minor surface wear, extremities rubbed, one head cap & foot of spine chipped, otherwise a handsome copy.

From this she moved on to further life-writing (courtesan autobiography), published poetry, further works which blended autobiography with fiction and finally to sentimental novels. Self-vindication and the need for money were her chief motives, but she had a real gift for expressing both mood and argument. Reviewers gradually shifted over the course of her career from sympathy to contempt. It is unclear how much of the novel she wrote, possibly the whole of the third volume. The Monthly Mirror, vol. XII, July 1801, wrote that 'we are of the opinion that Mr Bellamy's share in the work did not extend further than the middle of the second volume'. The novel forms a picaresque narrative of the life of Alfred, the Beggar Boy, abandoned by his mother, who, after enduring numerous hardships, is ultimately saved by a kindly family. …
