Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Romances of Mrs. Eliza Haywood The purpose of the following study is not to revive the reputation of a forgotten author or to suggest that Mrs. Haywood may yet "come into her own." For the lover of eighteenth century fashions her numerous pages have indeed a stilted, early Georgian charm, but with the passing of Ramillies wigs and velveteen small-clothes the popularity of her novels vanished once for all. She had her world in her time, but that world and time disappeared with the French Revolution. Now even professed students of the novel shrink from reading many of her seventy odd volumes, nor can the infamous celebrity conferred by Pope´s attack in "The Dunciad" save her name from oblivion. But the significance of Mrs. Haywood´s contributions cannot safely be ignored. Her romances of palpitating passion written between 1720 and 1730 formed a necessary complement to Defoe´s romances of adventure exactly as her Duncan Campbell pamphlets supplied the one element lacking in his.
