BIOGRAPHIES.
Eccentric Biography; Or Memoirs of Remarkable Female Characters Ancient and Modern.
London: Printed by J. Cundee 1803. From Astell and Joan of Arc to Shore and Wollstonecraft First edition of this popular study of nearly 100 women. Alongside classic inclusions such as Aphra Behn Cleopatra and Catharine de Medici Remarkable Female Characters details the lives and accomplishments of diverse individuals such as the androgynous soldier-spy Charlotte d'Éon. It is bound as the second volume in the set the first being a counterpart on noteworthy men. Collective biographies of noteworthy people often referred to as "eccentric biographies" were a popular genre in 19th-century Britain and America. The public had "a fascination with eccentric characters" as "was reflected in reports and discussion in newspapers in works of local history and in fiction" Gregory p. 343. The anonymous author is often nuanced when describing women who defied societal norms. They write admiringly of the Chevalière d'Éon 1728-1810 an author diplomat spy and soldier who lived openly as a man and a woman. D'Éon's entry is one of those accompanied by a portrait which faces page 118. The book is also sympathetic to the movement for women's rights commenting that Mary Astell "justly observed" the "want of knowledge in her sex" and complimenting her "uncommon assuidity" to her studies p. 9. Of Mary Wollstonecraft's struggles and unconventional lifestyle the author writes that "the history of this singular woman til towards the latter period of her life has been that of one continued struggle with adverse circumstances. with heroic fortitude" p. 141. The accompanying counterpart on noteworthy men features Caravaggio George Villiers and Mozart amongst others and is in the second edition. 2 works duodecimo 142 x 97 mm pp. v 5 349; 344 lacking pp. 339-344. With 8 engraved portrait plates in Remarkable Female Characters; 7 in Remarkable Characters. Contemporary sheep spines flat with gilt fillets green labels and numbers in gilt. Modern bookplates of R. V. H. Taylor. Extremities worn joints starting spine ends chipped spine and book block of Remarkable Female Characters split in centre but holding contents clean: a very good set.
