Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ladies Fair and Frail: Sketches of the Demi-Monde During the Eighteenth Century In many instances the lives of these frail ladies are interwoven with the careers of more notable personages. The name of Fanny Murray is writ large in a chapter in the history of John Wilkes; the fortunes of Nancy Parsons were identified in the closest manner with one of the Ministries of her time; the portraits of Kitty Fisher will not allow us to forget that she was a favourite model of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Some times a special interest of another kind is attached to the fair wanton. No critic Of the French Revolution can afford to neglect the memoirs of Grace Dalrymple Eliot, nor should the student of criminology overlook the case Of Miss Kennedy and her precious brothers. Though these facts might not be in themselves a sufficient reason for the appearance of elaborate mono graphs it cannot be denied that they increase the value of such essays.

Book excerpt: John Wilkes remains one of the most colourful and intriguing characters of eighteenth-century Britain. Born in 1725, the son of a prosperous London distiller, he was given the classical education of a gentleman, before entering politics as a Whig. Finding his party in opposition following the accession of George III in 1760 he took up his pen with sensational effect, and made a career out of excoriating the new administration and promoting the Whig interest. His charismatic style and vicious wit soon ensured that he became a figurehead for the radical cause, earning him many admirers and many enemies. Amongst the latter were the king, and the artist William Hogarth who famously depicted Wilkes as a grinning, squint-eyed, pug-nosed agent of misrule. Whilst Wilkes's political career has been much explored, particularly the period between 1763 and 1774, much less has been written about his remarkable private life. This biography provides a more comprehensive examination of Wilkes throughout his long life than has hitherto been available. Taking a thematic, rather than chronological approach it is divided into six main chapters covering family, ambition, sex, religion, class and money, which allows a much more rounded picture of Wilkes to emerge. In so doing it provides a fascinating insight, not only into one of the most intriguing characters of the Georgian period, but also into wider eighteenth-century British society and its shifting attitudes to morality, politics and gender.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fanny Murray (1729-1778) was a famous Georgian beauty and courtesan, desired throughout England and often to be found pressed to a gentleman’s heart in the form of a printed disc secretly tucked into their pocket-watch. She rose from life in the ‘London stews’ to fame and fortune, through her career as a high-class courtesan. She was seduced and then abandoned, aged just 12, by Jack Spencer, grandson of Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough (and related to the Althorp-based Spencers). Her luck turned when she caught the eye of the infamous Beau Nash, ‘King of Bath’. But it was her time in London that promoted her to national fame and notoriety. After ten years at the top, she was heavily in debt, but managed to secure an arranged marriage to a respectable man. The scandals of her past caught up with her as she was named in the national scandal surrounding Wilke’s pornography case at the High Court.
