The Conclusion of the Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph (1767)

Broadview Press Ltd

In 1761, Frances Sheridan published her novel The Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph, which became a popular and widely praised example of the sentimental novel. The Conclusion, that novel\u2019s sequel, is set eight years later, after Sidney Bidulph\u2019s marriage and motherhood. Psychologically subtle and emotionally immediate, the novel is told almost entirely in the form of letters. Many of the letters are between the scheming Sophy and Edward Audley, who are trying to trick Sidney\u2019s daughter into marriage with Edward; these letters provide a startlingly realistic portrayal of villainy, anticipating such later works as Les Liaisons Dangereuses.\nThe historical appendices include documents on the education of young adults in the eighteenth century and contemporary reviews of the novel.\n\nThe Conclusion of the Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph (1767)\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPle;
