Title: The self-fashioning of an early modern Englishwoman
Description: "From her indictment for bigamy in 1663, to her death by hanging at Tyburn a decade later, Mary Carleton captured the imagination of the English people. Mary Jo Kietzman's study of what she terms the 'self-serialization' of this actress, author, and criminal/heroine seeks to understand Carleton's popularity and her significance to a public that was obviously fascinated by her."--Jacket.
