Mary Robinson tells of her Bristol childhood, an early marriage to a faithless husband, debtors’ prison, her success on the Drury Lane stage, and her affair with the young Prince of Wales, who saw her as Perdita. A continuation completes the story. Lives of Jane, Duchess of Gordon, and Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, follow.
