Examining the unique portrayal of Bellamy in the periodical press as neither entirely virtuous nor completely immoral, this article proposes that she used her memoir as a publicity tool to refashion her public image and emphasize the legitimacy of her place in the public sphere on her own terms. Looking particularly at the relationship between her Apology and Samuel Richardson’s Pamela (1740), it explores the ways in which Bellamy characterized herself as a sentimental heroine. Drawing on the image of the sentimental heroine allowed her to align herself with other, more well-established and generally accepted avenues of female social participation for working women in the public sphere.","PeriodicalId":366404,"journal":{"name":"Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Theatre Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122552279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It first considers the deployment of children as a tool for satirizing adult folly and then proceeds to an examination of Garrick’s lewd humor at the expense of the child actress’s body. In studying the mechanisms of the salutary as well as the salacious laughter the afterpiece aims to evoke, we get important insights into eighteenth-century notions of childhood and can begin to reconstruct the presence of child actors in the period’s stage history.","PeriodicalId":366404,"journal":{"name":"Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Theatre Research","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115273721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
