This book forges new paths in the many underdeveloped directions in Manley scholarship, including her work's exploration of foreign locales, the power dynamics between individuals and in relation to states, sexuality beyond hetero-normativity, and the shifting operations and influences of genre. While it draws on previous writing about Manley's engagement with Whig/Tory politics, gender, and queerness, it also argues for Manley's contributions as a writer with wide-ranging knowledge of both the inner sanctums of London and the outer developing British Empire, an astute reader of politics, a sophisticated explorer of emotional and gender dynamics, and a flexible and clever stylist.
