Abstract:
This thesis disrupts competing interpretations about Eliza Haywood’s sexual attitudes and political alliances by focusing on the innovative elements of her work that foster the multiguity that leads to such debates. Specifically, this thesis argues that, throughout her work, Haywood is in dialogue with the maledominated sceptical tradition. Haywood, by employing the narrative elements of various genres that put pressure on the tensions between scepticism and credulity—genres such as apparition narratives, mock-history, travel narratives, and legal discourse—engages with debates about knowledge and judgment that troubled her contemporaries and dominated print culture. By doing so, she unsettles and challenges conventional understandings of scepticism that privilege custom and tradition. Most studies of eighteenth-century scepticism and literature neglect work by women writers, including Haywood; therefore, this study also challenges conventional understandings of what constitutes sceptical literature in the eighteenth century. As a woman writer, Haywood privileges scepticism over credulity even as she challenges custom and seeks to discover a reliable standard of judgment that is functional in a liberal society. To this end, Haywood fosters and develops the judgment and autonomy of her readers by either shifting authority onto them, or by offering model standards of judgment for them. This thesis examines four works from four genres across four decades of Haywood’s career: A Spy Upon the Conjurer (1724), The Adventures of Eovaai (1736), The Female Spectator (1744-1746), and The History of Jemmy and Jenny Jessamy (1753). The first two chapters discuss the nature and development of Haywood’s extreme scepticism in the 1720s and 1730s. Chapters three and four show how, in the 1740s and 1750s, Haywood introduces processes of sociable judgment that begin to mitigate the scepticism of her earlier work.

Abstract:
Neglected by traditional literary histories or misrepresented in gender-specific criticism, Eliza Haywood is properly a novelist whose innovations can be seen in the works of Defoe and Richardson. This thesis examines selected novels by the London-based Haywood (1693?-1756) in light of their contributions to the novel form. It begins by considering her romance novellas as adaptations of the popular scandal novels of Delariviere Manley. Haywood's early fiction combines the concerns of amatory fiction with the political expediencies of satire. Over the course of her career, Haywood's early romance novellas expanded to become conduct novels. In their endorsement of a prudent conjugal happiness over erotic fulfilment, her later works exemplify the changing proprieties at the heart of the eighteenth-century British novel. The argument of this thesis is the contention that Haywood's prose fiction provides a fresh and significant perspective upon a pivotal period in eighteenth-century British fiction.

Abstract:
This thesis traces the career of the prolific eighteenth-century author Eliza Haywood through narratological analysis of some of her key works. It contributes to the new wave of Haywood criticism that is moving away from the thematic, gender based focus that has dominated discussion of her oeuvre since her critical rediscovery in the 1980s. My narratological method demonstrates how understanding at a formal and thematic level is enhanced by the employment of theoretical narrative paradigms. Narratology is interested in the relationship between the events of a narrative (story) and how these events are presented (text). I utilize the narratological terminology of Gérard Genette because it is narrative discourse, rather than the mere events of a story, that provides the basis for a meaningful discussion concerning matters of presentation. Making the topic of narrative discourse central to the study requires analysis of voice, point of view, speech, and temporality, as it covers the ways in which the story is told. Throughout her career, Haywood manipulates these narrative features so as to create inventive texts that adapt to the changing trends of the literary marketplace. Key topics of discussion include Haywood s continuous but developing use both of the embedded narrative and anachronies; the differing levels of intrusion created by her narrators employment of metanarrative commentary; and her progressive use of metalepsis: from her inclusion of simple scene changes in her earlier work, to her emphatic use of explicit diegetic interruptions in her later work that mirror those utilised by Henry Fielding. The thesis follows a chronological structure and is historically and bibliographically informed. This approach enables the thesis to provide extended comparison of Haywood s narrative choices with those of her main forebears and contemporaries, especially Aphra Behn, Delarivier Manley, Samuel Richardson, Tobias Smollett, and Henry Fielding.

Abstract:
Dans l'œuvre foisonnante et complexe d'Eliza Haywood la question de l'utilisation des genres est indissociable du grand thème de la peinture de l'amour et des passions féminines. La représentation des passions contraint l'écriture à des emprunts extragénériques qui attirent l'attention du lecteur et lui intiment d'adhérer au caractère essentiel de cette représentation particulière de la femme. Rarement sereine, la femme est aussi passionnée qu'elle est comédienne ou poète. Ses désirs et ses emportements, mainte fois soulignés, coi͏̈ncident avec les apports du théâtre, de la poésie, de la satire ou de l'essai périodique au sein des œuvres. Paradoxe des genres, la marqueterie interne et la pluralité générique de l'écriture de Haywood aboutit à des effets ironiques qui se retournent contre l'utilisation de certain de ces genres. La poésie ou le théâtre dans l'œuvre font l'objet d'une satire menée par le narrateur. Ces contradictions obligent à considérer ce qui se dissimule derrière l'image centrale de la femme passionnée. En effet, cette insistance sur le thème des passions donne lieu à un questionnement d'ordre métalinguistique. La femme est d'autant plus éloquente qu'elle est soumise aux tourments des passions. C'est à une justification du talent de la femme écrivain que l'on assiste. Il est alors d'autant plus paradoxal que ce désir d'expression soit associé au jeu satirique de l'emprunt à des genres différents qui répond au désir inverse de réserve et de silence
In Eliza Haywood's complex and varied works, the use of literary genres is intimately connected to the main theme of women's passions. The representation of passion encourages the writer to resort to borrowed generic forms which attract the reader's attention, and suggest the importance of this singular vision of women. Rarely serene, women are also passionate actors and poets. Their fits and desires are often depicted, and coincide with the emergence of drama, poetry or essay within Haywood's works. Paradoxically, this generic complexity creates ironic effects, targeted at the genres themselves, so that poetry and drama are satirised by the narrators. These contradictions incite the reader to consider the interpretation of the motif of the passionate lady. The insistence of the passionate theme is in fact linked to a metalinguistic representation. Women are all the more eloquent as they are submerged by passion, and the talent of the women writer is thus justified. It is paradoxical that this desire for expression and creativity is associated to a satire on various genres which fulfils the directly opposed wish for modesty and silence

Full text
Abstract:
Through her texts depicting amorous adventures, Eliza Haywood engages with critical, contemporary discussions about power relations and consent in both social and legal constructs. Her texts resist the boundary between the private domain of interpersonal relationships and the public domain of political relations. Rather, her fiction engages in a wide-reaching discourse that explores the interrelations between power, agency, consent, and education, and lays bare the ways in which societal roles and expectations are reinforced in damaging ways. This thesis aims to prove that Haywood’s repetition of central motifs—including the continued tension between resisting and yielding to sexual pressure or temptation, and the line between seduction and rape—serves to question how these behaviours become normalized and naturalized. Through analyzing three categories of relationships—women and their fathers or guardians, women and their lovers, and women with other women—this thesis unpacks how women’s agency is stifled by parental relationships, transferred to male lovers, and finally empowered by female intimacy.

Abstract:
The Long Eighteenth Century was a period in which change was constant and proceeding the Restoration Era; this sense of change continued throughout the era. Charles II created an era in which women were allowed on the theatre stage, and his mistresses accompanied him to court; Charles II set the stage for the proto-feminist ideas of the eighteenth century that would manifest themselves in Eliza Haywood’s Love in Excess, Daniel Defoe’s Roxana, and Elizabeth Inchbald’s A Simple Story. These novels showcase the enlightenment of women and some of their male contemporaries and the beginning struggles of female agency. The eighteenth century was a time in which the separate sphere mentality grew ever stronger within the patriarchal society, and yet, women began to question their subservient place in this society—although this struggle would continue to intensify throughout the nineteenth century and eventually come to fruition in the late nineteenth century.

Abstract:
A partir de 1690, une presse dite de loisir se focalise de maniere croissante sur un lectorat feminin. Le mode de conversation qui se met en place apparait en fait comme l'instrument d'un encadrement assez strict des comportements feminins, et comme un relais essentiel dans l'affirmation progressive d'une ideologie du bonheur domestique. L'analyse de trois magazines publies entre 1692 et 1746 tente de montrer la progression des methodes utilisees par les redacteurs en chef dans la premiere moitie du dix-huitieme siecle. La premiere partie de cette etude "d'une lectrice ignoree a une presse medecin" propose une mise en place historique de l'essor et de l'evolution paralleles des magazines et du lectorat feminin; la deuxieme partie "le periodique, une societe fictive" etudie les diverses strategies employees par les magazines afin d'engager une forme de conversation avec leurs lectrices. La troisieme partie "divertissement et socialisation" examine la part et la fonction de la poesie et de la fiction dans ce dialogue et montre le passage du divertissement a l'intention educative. Enfin, la quatrieme partie "la presse, un instrument efficace?" tente de mesurer l'impact qu'ont eu ces journaux sur la presse anglaise et sur l'education feminine apres 1750. From 1690 onward, a new kind of periodical press called the leisure press increasingly focused on women readers in engla nd. These papers tried to dialogue with their readers and turned out to be some efficient means of controlling the behaviours of the female sex as well as educating the readers and imposing a new sentimental and domestic ideal of femininity. A study of three journals published between 1692 and 1746 aims at showing the methods the writers resorted to in order to socialise their female readers. The first part of the study traces back the reasons why the editors focused on women readers in the late seventeenth century. The second part shows how the editors transformed the periodical into a miniature society, club, in order to encourage their readers to a dialogue. The third part shows how the writers used poetry and prose fiction both to divert and educate their audience. Lastly, the fourth part tries to measure the impact of these periodicals both on the periodical press and on women's lives after 1750.

Abstract:
In Eliza Haywood's fiction, as in eighteenth-century Britain, social restrictions repress the sexual desires of upper class women and men. Therefore, the secret desires of this social class often rely on a different group: domestic servants. Sometimes acting as confidants and other times as active players in the scheming, these servants are privy to the inner secrets of the households in which they live. In Haywood's Love in Excess (1719), Lasselia (1723), Fantomina (1725), and The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless (1751), the servant class plays significant roles in the narratives. Since the role of the servant is the central issue in my interpretation of Haywood's works, the historical background of the relationship between master and servant in the eighteenth-century is significant to my investigation. Conduct books, a popular genre of the times, were written to offer practical instruction to domestic servants. Haywood's A Present for A Servant Maid; or the Sure Means of gaining Love and Esteem (1743), offers a view of Haywood's own attitude toward the servant class. In addition to her career as a writer of amorous intrigue, Haywood worked as both actress and playwright, and, because of her experience, elements of the stage can be seen in her works. I explore the influence of the theatre in Haywood's fiction and connect it to the prominent role of servants in her work. Though Haywood demonstrates that the servants' loyalty can be bought for the highest price, they are not ruled by the same sexual passion as are their employers. This area is of particular interest to my study. I explore whether the motive of financial gain is greater than sexual desire, or whether it is an awareness that aristocrats are not truly available to the servant class that accounts for the differences in erotic responses. Additionally, I explore how servants affect Haywood's narrative by acting as agents of change and argue that the social restrictions placed on the upper class and the awareness of the sexual freedoms the servant class bring master and servant closer together.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines ways in which women constructed and criticized matrimony both before and after their own marriages. Social historians have argued for the rise of companionacy in the eighteenth century without paying attention to women's accounts of the fears and uncertainties surrounding the prospect of marriage. I argue that having more latitude to choose a husband did not diminish the enormous impact that the choice would have on the rest of a woman's life; if anything, choice might increase that impact. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Hester Mulso Chapone, Mary Delany, and Eliza Haywood recorded their anxieties about and their criticisms of marriage in public and private writings from the early years of the century into the 1750s. They often elide their own complex backgrounds in favor of generalized policy statements on what constitutes a good marriage. These women promote an ideal of marriage based on respect and similarity of character, suggesting that friendship is more honest, and durable than romantic love. This definition of ideal marriage enables these women to argue for more egalitarian marital relationships without overtly calling for a change in the wife's traditional role. The advancement of this ideal of companionacy gave women a means of promoting gender equality in marriage at a time when they considered marriage risky but socially and economically necessary.

Abstract:
In this dissertation, I examine antagonistic relationships between women writers in the first half of the eighteenth century, focusing on the works of Delarivier Manley, Martha Fowke Sansom, Eliza Haywood, and Laetitia Pilkington. Professional rivalry among women writers represents an under-studied but vital element of the history of print culture in the early eighteenth century. I argue that the shared burden of negotiating the complicated literary marketplace did not, as critics have at times suggested, inspire women who wrote for print publication to feel for one another a sisterly benevolence. Rather, fine gradations in social class, questions of genre status and individual talent, and -- perhaps most importantly -- clashing literary ambitions spurred early eighteenth-century women writers into vicious rivalries recorded in print and driven by print culture. Women documented their literary battles in poems, in prefaces, and in autobiographical texts replete with self-justification and with attacks on former friends or disappointing patronesses. This dissertation recognizes rivalry as a crucial mode of interaction between eighteenth-century literary women and analyzes the ways in which these professional women writers labored to defend themselves not just against patriarchal pressures but against one another. In doing so, it contributes to the construction of a more complete literary history of the first half of the eighteenth century by exploring how early eighteenth-century women writers imagined their own professional lives, how they imagined the professional lives of other women, and how they therefore believed themselves influenced (or claimed themselves influenced) by the support or detraction of other women. The first two chapters of this dissertation focus on Delarivier Manley's career and writings, while the second two address the entangled writing lives of Eliza Haywood and Martha Fowke Sansom. The concluding chapter briefly examines Laetitia Pilkington's Memoirs. I investigate the way these women employed the practice of life-writing as a means of self-construction, self-promotion, and public appeal.
