She lived on the fame of her notorious personality as early as 1714. Her precarious marriage past, numerous quarrels, her obesity and her politics were topics that she sold in constant revisions of the fame she had acquired. That was apparently no problem before the 1740s, as Manley was translated into French and German in the early 18th century, and received new English editions during the first half of the century. Alexander Pope satirised the eternal fame that she was about to acquire in his "Rape of the Lock" in 1712—it would last "as long as the "Atalantis" shall be read."
