The Rash Resolve and Life's Progress cover

Eliza Haywood was one of the most popular and versatile writers of the eighteenth century. The two novellas in this edition – The Rash Resolve (1724) and Life’s Progress (1748) – show her developing and adapting her ideas on the subject of passion and romance. Though superficially presented as cautionary tales, Haywood introduces a feminist slant.

'brings the two novels to life with careful attention to historical and contextual details-details that allow the reader a more complete glimpse into the life and times of Eliza Haywood.' ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830 'The availability of The Rash Resolve and Life's Progress in this annotated text is sure to stimulate comparative studies of Haywood's early and later works, and her continuing experimentation with the novel genre.'
