A Spy on Eliza Haywood

Eliza Haywood's writing career spanned the gamut of genres: novels, plays, advice manuals, periodicals, propaganda, satire, and translations. This book demonstrates how she contributed to making women's writing a locus of debate to be taken seriously by contemporary readers, and by current scholars of the eighteenth century.
