Her contributions to moral philosophy and economics provide a clear view of early 18th century English society. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second volume of the philosopher and economist's \u003cem\u003eMemoirs\u003c\/em\u003e... focuses more closely on the political, strategical failures of the English ministries as mediators between the Sovereign and the people, examining the accompanying decadence and moral decline of the English population. At the core lies Haywood's observation that women are the first to suffer from the consequences of societal and financial crises. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e300 years after its first publication in 1724, this comprehensive edition of Eliza Haywood's Memoirs of a Certain Island Adjacent to the Kingdom of Utopia makes accessible a fundamental utopian text. Illustrating the threat of moral decline in financial crises, Haywood's sharp critique of a government ignoring the needs of its own people remains compelling today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliza Fowler Haywood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111313220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111313221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Eliza Fowler Haywood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526540808447,"sku":"9783111313221","price":153.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc0f1669-f3cd-4a9f-b040-729987e5f561.jpg?v=1737556477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memoirs-of-a-certain-island-eliza-fowler-haywood-9783111313221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
