Project Gutenberg 2004-01-01 Public domain in the USA. 378 Whicher, George Frisbie 1889 1954 The Life and Romances of Mrs. Eliza Haywood Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Carol David and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Life and Romances of Mrs. Eliza Haywood" by George Frisbie Whicher is a scholarly monograph composed in the early 20th century. The book attempts to provide a comprehensive analysis of the life and literary contributions of Eliza Haywood, a prominent figure in 18th-century literature known for her romantic and scandalous novels. Whicher explores Haywood's significance as one of the earliest female novelists, shedding light on her works that depict themes of passion, societal norms, and the challenges faced by women in literature. At the start of the text, Whicher not only outlines the insufficient recognition that Haywood received during and after her lifetime but also presents a biographical sketch of her life. The opening discusses her unconventional upbringing, her marriage to Rev. Valentine Haywood, and her scandalous elopement, hinting at the tumultuous nature of her personal and professional life. Whicher emphasizes how Haywood utilized her literary talents to carve out a space for herself in a male-dominated field, ultimately generating a prolific output of novels, plays, and pamphlets that reflected both her personal struggles and societal critiques. This prologue sets the stage for a thorough exploration of Haywood's contributions to the development of the novel as a form and the evolution of women's roles in literature.
