'Mrs Keith of Ravelstone remembered, as a girl in London perhaps in the 1760s, hearing Aphra Behn's fiction "read aloud for the amusement of large circles of the first and most creditable in society"; in old age she tried to re-read it but, affected by the changing cultural climate, found it too embarrassing to continue.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Mrs ? Keith (of Ravelstone)      Print: Unknown
