Delarivier Manly: Life and Work

This paper examines the life and work of the English writer Delarivier Manly (с. 1670—1724). She managed to become widely known as a satirist who wrote on political topics. It is safe to consider her the first female journalist in English history to serve as a mouthpiece for the Tory political group. As a playwright, she owns four plays staged by London theaters. Her greatest fame as an author came from the best-selling “New Atalantia” and other “secret stories”, in which the political and personal, erotic and pathetic, real and fictional merged together.

Keywords
