| The Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph was hugely popular in circulating libraries in the years after its publication, and its emotional intensity was often remarked upon; Samuel Johnson wrote to Frances Sheridan, â I know not, Madam! that you have a right, upon moral principles, to make your readers suffer so much.â Sheridan traces Sidney Bidulphâ s development in a complex epistolary novel spanning much of the protagonistâ s life, and explores the tension between sexual desire and prescribed female conduct. In addition to an introduction that places the novel in the context of Sheridanâ s feminism and of the early novel, this edition provides material on discourses of female conduct, letters between Sheridan and Samuel Richardson, and contemporary reviews. |
