Eliza Haywood is one of the eighteenth century's most unjustly neglected authors, known to modern readers, if at all, as the winner of the notorious contest in Pope's Dunciad. As a writing woman writing for women who daredto speak her mind in public, Haywood was a dangerous entity for her contemporaries; her works were widely condemned as unfeminine, licentious, and immodest. In this edition of three of her novellas, Haywood is revealed as a writerof great spirit and daring with her dramatic descriptions of the battle of the sexes.
