Statement of responsibility: by the Black dwarf
Exhibitions: Exhibited in "Before Victoria: Extraordinary Women of the British Romantic Era," New York Public Library, April-July 2005.
Biographical/historical: Women's adultery was judged by completely different rules than those that applied to men, and even radicals found it difficult not to blame Queen Caroline, in 1820 the despised and abandoned wife of the new king, George IV. Even an abandoned wife's taking a lover was considered an offense, and her "guilt" was flagrant. No shrinking violet, she demanded a great deal of attention at a time when flamboyant public display was less and less countenanced, especially for women. Public opinion for and against Caroline split on Whig and Tory political lines, with a few independents, like T. J. (Thomas Jonathan) Wooler, (1786?-1853) seeing sins on both sides.
