Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia editions of all four volumes of Yearsley's Gothic novel inspired by The Man in the Iron Mask. Known as "Lactialla" or the poetical milkwoman, Yearsley was a poet with a basic education, born in Clifton. She came to the charitable notice of Hannah More of Bristol, who edited her poetry and managed her monies, a dependency that led to a falling out and accusations of classism against More. While mainly noted for her poetry, Gothic thriller The Royal Captives addresses the mistreatment of women, the poor and the lower classes, themes that resonated for Yearsley. These two volumes were owned by Sally Dimon of Fairfield. Yearsley was also an abolitionist.
