520 8 |a The narrative of Charlotte Charke (1713-1760) describes her life and experiences as an actress, a cross-dresser and a famous playwright's daughter, through periods of prosperity and poverty. Her father was Colley Cibber, the well-known actor, theatre manager and playwright, and her mother Katharine Shore, an actress. The author made her debut on the London stage aged 17, and her great success as Macheath in the Beggar's Opera, 1744-45 is described. This swashbuckling account of the author's life resembles a 'picaresque 18th century fiction' in the style of Fielding, although Charke's historical identity is not in question.
