Susannah Gunning had been front and center of a the “Gunningiad,” a scandal centering around the the authorship of forged love letters between her daughter Elizabeth and the Marquess of Blandford. The affair had generated many squibs and several justificatory pamphlets pro and contra mother/daughter and the husband she had left, John Gunning, who had published a compulsive tale of his libertine pursuits in 1792 (see 6239902/Fr# 482.1 in this collection).
