{"product_id":"love-in-excess-second-eliza-haywood-9781551113678","title":"Love in Excess - Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eEliza Haywood (1693-1756) was one of the most successful writers of her time; indeed, the two most popular English novels in the early eighteenth-century were \u003cem\u003eRobinson Crusoe\u003c\/em\u003e and Haywood's first novel, \u003cem\u003eLove in Excess\u003c\/em\u003e. As this edition enables modern readers to discover, its enormous success is easy to understand. \u003cem\u003eLove in Excess\u003c\/em\u003e is a well crafted novel in which the claims of love and ambition are pursued through multiple storylines until the heroine engineers a melodramatic conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaywood's frankness about female sexuality may explain the later neglect of \u003cem\u003eLove in Excess\u003c\/em\u003e. (In contrast, her accomplished domestic novel, \u003cem\u003eThe History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless\u003c\/em\u003e, has remained available.) \u003cem\u003eLove in Excess\u003c\/em\u003e and its reception provide a lively and valuable record of the challenge that female desire posed to social decorum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the second Broadview edition, the appendix of eighteenth-century responses to Haywood has been considerably expanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliza Haywood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1551113678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551113678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadview Press Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Eliza Haywood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046563082495,"sku":"9781551113678","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c615d93-1fe5-41f0-8dd5-f6119694c7c1.jpg?v=1684985260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/love-in-excess-second-eliza-haywood-9781551113678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
