The Injur'd Husband and Lasselia (Eighteenth-Century Novels by Women)
"Reveals considerable inventiveness in technique and preceptiveness in analysis of character and motive." -- Choice"Will please anyone interested in the early novel and delight students of Haywood." -- East-Central Intelligencer"Deserves to be studied and taught." -- Eighteenth-Century Fiction"Provides a modern edition of two Haywood texts which 'have never before been edited.'" -- Eighteenth-Century Studies"The Injur'd Husband and Lasselia impart more than critical insights into the novel's history and women's role in that history. They're plain fun to read -- something Haywood's contemporaries understood, and a pleasure we can now enjoy for ourselves." -- Jane Austen Society of North America News"Haywood's two novellas are a sample document of the range of women's sexual and literary possibilities in the early century." -- Notes and Queries"The juxtaposition of two of Haywood's novels in one volume is very welcome as it gives the reader a broader sense of Haywood's style and purpose." -- Review of English Studies
