Description

Eliza Fowler Haywood (c. 1693-1756) was a prolific writer, actress, a widely connected scholar, a critical philosopher, and economist. Her contributions to moral philosophy and economics provide a clear view of early 18th century English society. Haywood's precise critique of a government ignoring the needs of its most vulnerable citizens remains compelling today. Her two-volume utopian work Memoirs of a Certain Island Adjacent to the Kingdom of Utopia (1724) discusses the economic and financial crisis of England's South Sea Bubble and begins to develop Haywood's philosophical argument of genuine love corrupted by greed and lust. The Second volume will be published in 2025.
