| This article puts these two Regency phenomena in dialogue to demonstrate how they were linked by their fashionable status as well as by the club's ability to help silver-fork authors, specifically women authors, shape the genre in which they wrote. The textual presence of Almack's enabled authors to argue for the expansion and redefinition of the woman's sphere, reflect anxieties over increasingly permeable class boundaries, and satirize the exclusives' vexed relationship with French culture as fashionably tempting yet politically threatening. Almack's narrative potential was particularly relevant for women writers because Almack's itself was governed by a group of women, the Lady Patronesses, who, as both historical figures and fictional characters, provided silver-fork authors with models for female power and authorship that blended traditional feminine employment with broader social and political influence. | |
