Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sylph by Georgiana - Duchess of Devonshire. The Sylph is a 1778 novel by Georgiana Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire. It was her second printed work and was published anonymously under the name 'A Young Lady'. The Sylph is an epistolatory novel. It centres on Julia Grenville, a Welsh beauty and ingenue (with whom there are parallels with Cavendish herself) who leaves her idyllic rustic life to marry a rich member of the aristocracy. Over the course of time she uncovers the fact that her husband is a rake and a libertine, lavishing his wealth on gambling and mistresses. The letters are chiefly written to her sisters and provide narrative detail about Julia's life in London and her disillusionment with the mores of the inhabitants of the city as well as her miscarriage. We also discover that she has a long-term admirer, Henry Woodley, that she has growing affections for another man (the Baron Ton-hausen) and also that she has a mysterious and enigmatic protector and guardian, who is the 'sylph' of the title. The sylph helps provide advice to Julia on the way to negotiate the labyrinth of metropolitan high society, appearing in the work only in the double fictional form of a masquerade. Eventually Julia's husband commits suicide as a result of his hefty gambling debts and Julia returns to her family in Wales. The book's epigraph is taken from The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope and was influenced by The Sylph, a one-act play by Germain-Francois Poullain de Saint-Foix (1771). There has been some controversy over the authorship of the work, with some claims having been made that it was not written by Cavendish but was instead produced by Sophia Briscoe. The question of gambling debts is an interesting one, since at her death Cavendish herself left an extremely large bill behind based on her own gambling activity."

Book excerpt: When a woman finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage, she receives guidance from an anonymous guardian in this eighteenth-century epistolary novel. Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, first published The Sylph anonymously in 1778. With its autobiographical elements and frank depiction of infidelity, corruption, and alcoholism, it was a blistering exposé of aristocratic depravity. Welsh beauty Julia Grenville knows little of the world when she marries the wealthy, much older Lord Stanley. After moving to London, she writes to her sisters of disappointments and misfortunes: her unfaithful husband, the snobbery of London socialites, and a newfound weakness for gambling. Julia then receives correspondence from a mysterious guardian angel known only as the Sylph. Sympathetic to Julia’s unhappiness, the Sylph offers counsel on her marital strife and her growing affection for another man. And when she discovers that her husband faces ruin—and that she herself could be claimed in payment for his debts—the Sylph helps Julia find the courage to flee.

Book excerpt: This book is a great read! It provides a glimpse into the life and times of the du monde of the period. You will love this woman after reading her story, and will be very intrigued by the beginning, when Georgina writes in a males perspective. The Duchess of Devonshire's second book, first published in 1778, chronicles the life of a young, newly married lady of high society not unlike its author. Written in epistolary format, the story follows Julia from her idyllic country life to her marriage to a rich aristocrat. She soon discovers her husband is nothing other than a rake, spending all his and her money on gambling and mistresses. Without the protection of a husband, soon others come on the scene, intent on taking advantatge of young and naive Julia. An anonymous guardian, in the guise of The Sylph, writes to her, giving her guidance through her troubles...but will it be enough? 'This scholarly edition of The Sylph provides fresh insights into the lives of aristocratic women in the 1770s. The novel by one of the most fashionable women of her age is both a window on upper-class social mores and a roman clef drawing on the Duchess's own gambling addiction and unconventional domestic arrangements.' --Janet Todd, Herbert J.C. Grierson Professor of English Literature, University of Aberdeen 'Once praised as ingenious and condemned as obscene, The Sylph is, in fact, a fascinating insider's view of the life of the British ruling class, penned by one of the most gifted and troubled women of the eighteenth century.' --Paula R. Feldman, C. Wallace Martin Professor of English, University of South Carolina

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you ever wondered what Jane Austen's Mr Darcy and his 'fellows' got up to on their numerous trips to London, here is the book they would certainly have carried around ... HARRIS'S LIST OF COVENT GARDEN LADIES was a bestseller of the Eighteenth Century, shifting 250,000 copoies in an age before mass consumerism. An annual 'guide book', and published at Christmas time, it detailed the names, attributes and 'specialities' of the capital's prostitutes. During its heyday (1759 -95) HARRIS'S LIST was the essential accessory for any serious gentleman of pleasure. Hallie Rubenhold has collected the funniest, rudest and most bizarre entries penned by Jack Harris, Pimp-General-of-all-England' into this mischievous little book."
