Quotes by Frances Wilson (?)

“Revenge writing is a female genre. Men who have been left by women or made cuckolds by rivals either lick their wounds in humiliated silence or start the Trojan Wars. Having no other power or public voice, the betrayed woman reaches for her pen.”
― Frances Wilson, The Courtesan’s Revenge

“De Quincey remained convinced that the poppy allowed him access to the ‘inner world of secret self-consciousness’ in which ‘each of us lives a second life apart and with himself alone’.”
― Frances Wilson, Guilty Thing: A Life of Thomas De Quincey
