Courtesan’s Revenge: First Edition – Frances Wilson

R300.00

Born in 1786, by the time she was 15 years old, Harriette Wilson was well on her way to becoming Regency London’s most sought-after courtesan. She counted amongst her conquests the Prince of Wales, the Lord Chancellor, and no less than four future Prime Ministers. There was hardly a young dandy in Mayfair who had not been involved with Harriette, who entranced men with her wit as much as her beauty. But when the Duke of Beaufort put a halt on the payments he had promised her, Harriette decided to avenge herself on the whole pack.

Original Hardcover with original dust jacket in protective collector’s mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear.

Author Born in Malawi, she attended The Mount School, York and received a degree in English Literature from St Hugh’s College, Oxford. She received a PhD on Henry James and Freud from Sussex University.
