| Summary | "Mrs. Mary Robinson, Written by Herself" by Robinson, Thomson, and Wharton is an autobiographical account written during the late 18th century. The book delves into the life of Mary Robinson, a stunning and talented woman who navigates the treacherous waters of high society, love, and betrayal. It offers insights into her relationships, particularly with the Prince of Wales and her tumultuous marriage to Mr. Robinson, highlighting the societal challenges faced by women during this era. The opening of the autobiography sets the stage for Mary Robinson's life story, detailing her dramatic personal history, including her upbringing in Bristol and the tumultuous circumstances of her marriage. The narrative introduces her family background, her early passions for music and poetry, and her initial timid foray into the world of performance. It captures the emotional weight of her relationships, particularly her husband’s eventual neglect and infidelity, an ominous foreshadowing of the struggles she will face. The vivid descriptions of significant figures in her life—such as her father’s adventurous spirit, her mother’s devotion, and the societal roles of men around her—paint a rich picture of the 18th-century social landscape ripe with both allure and peril.
