Sophia Briscoe
Sophia Briscoe (fl. 1770s) was an 18th-century English novelist. Little is known of her life.
==Novels==
Briscoe was the author of the epistolary novels ''Miss Melmoth; or the New Clarissa'' (1771)〔Samuel Richardson's tragic novel ''Clarissa'' had appeared in 1748.〕 and ''The Fine Lady: A Novel'' (sometimes ''The Fine Lady; or a history of Mrs. Montague'', 1772). Briscoe was paid 20 guineas for the copyright of ''The Fine Lady''. A German translation of ''The Fine Lady'' appeared as ''Die Frau nach der Mode'' in Leipzig, dated 1771.〔The translation was by Johann Friedrich Junius. Nuremberg City Library (in German): (Retrieved 5 October 2014 ).〕
Both novels are available in print-on-demand editions. ''Miss Melmoth'' was well received in ''The Critical Review''.〔Ruth Perry: ''Novel Relations. The Transformation of Kinship in English Literature, 1748–1818'' (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2004), p. 150n.〕 The ''Monthly Review'' mildly commended it.〔No. 45 (), p. 74. Reported in Blackwell Reference Online (Retrieved 5 October 2014. )〕 The treatment of incest in ''Miss Melmoth'' (Caroline Melmoth shies away from marrying Sir John Evelin instinctively, before discovering their relationship) has been discussed along with other aspects by at least one modern critic.〔Perry..., pp. 150 and 397. The sudden instinctive discovery of a near relative as a plot device is parodied in Jane Austen's ''Love and Freindship'' (1790), quoted by Perry (p. 400).〕
