History of the Countess of Dellwyn, By Sarah Fielding

Sarah Fielding was one of the most respected women authors of her generation and a key figure in the development of the novel. This edition revives The Countess of Dellwyn, the only one of Sarah Fielding's major works not previously available in a modern scholarly edition. The novel is satirical and didactic, taking as its targets fashionable life and modern marriage (and scandalous divorce) and narrated with acerbic wit by its anonymous third-person narrator.
