Daphne du Maurier's novel Mary Anne (1954) is a fictionalised account of the real-life story of her great-great-grandmother, Mary Anne Clarke, née Thompson (1776-1852). It was published by Gollancz in the UK and by Doubleday in the US.
Not surprisingly, Mary Anne Clarke’s body, fashion choices, and theatricality feature prominently in representations that center on her feminine duplicity and dangerous sexuality. Clarke’s attempts to represent herself as an innocent heroine are parodied through references to her role as a mistress and her desire for fame and luxury.
