Autorenporträt
Susannah Gunning, whose real name was Minifie, was a British author and writer who lived from 1740 to August 28, 1800 in London. In 1791, she and her family were at the center of a social scandal involving a man who liked her daughter Elizabeth Gunning. Rev. Dr. James Minifie had at least two children, and Susannah Gunning was one of them. Mary Minifie was her sister. Before her first book came out in 1763, not much is known about her life. She lived in Fairwater, Somerset, at this point. She married Captain John Gunning of the 65th Regiment of Foot on August 8, 1768. He was a brave soldier who stood out at the Battle of Bunker Hill. People said that he was living a "dissolute" and immoral life. He was married to the Duke of Argyll, and it's possible that the Duke helped him get ahead in the service. In 1767, Susannah and John Gunning had a daughter named Elizabeth Gunning, who wrote books. John Gunning, who was a General at the time, was fined £5,000 for "criminal conversation" with the wife of his tailor after the family split up. After that, he went to Naples with his mistress to avoid having to pay her husband for the damage.
