Footnotes

NO OTHER COPY TRACED of this early novel. Love in a Fury is an English translation, almost certainly the first, of a work originally published anonymously in Cologne in 1684 as L'Amour en fureur. The jealous Fabritius forces his innocent wife Virginia to wear a chastity belt; ultimately his jealousy is his undoing, and the virtuous Virginia is liberated.

Provenance: Charles Stanhope, 4th Earl of Harrington (1780-1851), gilt arms on covers. His stamp is also found on a copy of Conjugal Lewdness (BL C.69.c.3), and Woman: a Poem (National Art Library CLE HH20).
