Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sequel to the Female Jesuit: Containing Her Previous History and Recent Discovery
The readers of The Female Jesuit; or, The Spy in the Family will not be surprised to hear more of Marie; and the sale of nearly four thou sand copies, in less than twelve months, justifies the conclusion that its numerous readers will be anxious to learn the issue.
The previous tale left Marie's real character an enigma, and her origin a mystery. Recent dis closures have to a great extent cleared up these and as one of the main objects of the previous volume was to elicit information, it is a point of honour to make known her real character. How singularly the publication of her narrative has led to the development of her history, will appear in the present volume.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating case of a young woman, Marie, who skillfully deceives numerous families and individuals with her elaborate fabrications and assumed identities. Set in the mid-19th century, the narrative unfolds through a series of letters and firsthand accounts, offering a glimpse into the social and religious landscape of Victorian England. The author meticulously pieces together Marie's enigmatic history, exploring the psychological and societal factors that may have contributed to her deceptive behavior. The text raises questions about identity, truth, and the nature of belief, as Marie's victims grapple with the shocking realization that the person they thought they knew never truly existed. Through Marie's story, the book explores themes of deception, religious hypocrisy, and the vulnerability of individuals and communities to manipulation. It also delves into the phenomenon of "simulative hysteria," a psychological condition characterized by the compulsive fabrication of stories and the assumption of false identities. By unraveling the complexities of Marie's case and presenting similar instances of deception, this book offers valuable insights into the human capacity for both deceit and self-deception, leaving readers to ponder the enduring mystery of Marie's true nature and the broader implications of her actions.
