Selected Fiction and Drama of Eliza Haywood

Zusatztext Backscheider's volume will make it possible to include Haywood as a significant presence in both survey courses and graduate seminars Klappentext This exciting edition gathers together for the first time a sampling of Haywood's writings generous enough to represent the full range of her fiction and drama and includes material from each decade of her Long writing life. The collection features six fictions, including both racy early work and later experimental prose fiction, two plays, and some powerful political writing. Zusammenfassung Although Eliza Haywood was one of the best known and most prolific writers in her own time, there is no modern edition of her works. This edition provides representative texts from Haywood's entire career, which overlaps that of Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, and Tobias Smollett. The six fictions and two plays provided here illustrate the many kinds of writing Haywood produced, the ways she treated important themes and issues, and the contributions she made to the development of the English novel.
