About the book

Harriette Wilson's memoirs offer a scandalous and witty account of Regency high society from the perspective of one of its most famous courtesans. Wilson recalls relationships with aristocrats, politicians and military figures, describing a world of gossip, money, reputation and sexual politics with unusual candour. The memoir became notorious on publication and remains a vivid, if highly personal, portrait of elite society in early nineteenth-century Britain.
