Halkett and Laing Vol IV page 50. The Schlueters note in their Encyclopaedia of British Women Writers that this is Manley's most celebrated work . a kind of roman a clef that recounted political intrigue and sexual scandal . includes scenes of homosexual as well as heterosexual sex orgies drunkeness rape and incest which has given it a sensationalist reputation . The second volume for example opens with a piece on the New Cabal a group of wealthy lesbians . Her contribution lies in having forged an authentically feminist realism . and in having braved the negative currents that opposed women's entrance into the field of dramatic and fictional literature . She is one of the pioneers of women's literature in English but her work has yet to receive the serious critical attention it deserves. John Morphew unknown books
