This two-volume collection of essays by Lady Morgan is a conversational mix of personal reflection, literary anecdote, and glimpses of fashionable society. Drawing on her experience of prominent circles, she writes lightly about people already well known to the public. It offers a vivid, informal window into early nineteenth-century literary and social life.
