Descrizione

848pp., cloth, a very good copy. This is the first descriptive bibliography of the works of Eliza Haywood (1693?ñ1756) and her partner, William Hatchett (1701?ñ1749?). The works have been separated and organized using the principles outlined by P N Furbank and W R Owens in The Canonisation of Daniel Defoe. Evidence for and history of attribution is discussed within the headnotes, and biographical information is given wherever possible, along with the titleís publishing history. The bibliography contains many fresh attributions, locates ëlostí and difficult to find Haywood titles and lists dozens of unrecognized translations. It also contains a record of every reprint, facsimile, micro-format reproduction and e-text of works by Haywood; as well as a complete description of all the works published by her and those written by William Hatchett. Likewise, there is an account of all the works that have been attributed to Haywood in the last three hundred years. The history, arguments and evidence for each attribution is considered in full, both for those works accepted as part of the Haywood canon and those rejected.
