Narrative of the Life of Mrs Charlotte Charke cover

In this picaresque novel, Charlotte Clarke recalls her life as an actress, and in particular, the difficulties facing a woman trying to make her way in a man's world. The issues of women's writing, education, motherhood, sexuality, and cross-dressing all come under scrutiny.

'Rehder, says a number of things that needed saying, including identifying this autobiography as a "minor masterpiece" and praising its vivacity ... the identifications provided by Rehder's full annotation are highly necessary ... . This edition should help to make her autobiography better known' Times Literary Supplement
