2: Delarivier Manley Second in the series presented by Sarah Dunant. Sitting on stage at the Shakespeare Globe
Museum, historian Helen Weinstein discusses playwright and novelist Delarivier Manley.
The victim of a bigamous marriage, she took revenge on men in everything she wrote, beginning with two plays and moving on to novels in which she satirised the leading figures of the court. She wrote strong, sexually aggressive female characters in an outrageously erotic and steamy style, all of which landed her in court with a libel case.
