Frances Sheridan is now remembered, if at all, as the mother of the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Yet, in her own day, she was a novelist and playwright whose work was admired by her contemporaries, David Garrick, Samuel Johnson. James Boswell, and Samuel Richardson. The appearance of all of this dramatist's long-out-of-print work reveals her to be an authoress worth studying, not only as an important influence on her son, but in her own right.
Description: The Journal of Francis C Sheridan, noting travel and discussing journey to England to negotiate loans and other business undertaken as paymaster of Mauritius. Extracts from "Southy's Chronological History of the West Indies 1684" are noted in the same diary.
