Reveals debates on authorship and persona in eighteenth century and early modern fiction. Magdalen King-Hall, daughter of Admiral Sir George King-Hall, allegedly wrote The Diary of a Young Lady of Fashion in 1764 687 under a pseudonym, while critic discussion centers on truth and licentiousness in beaumonde society.
