Eliza Haywood's last novel offers a unique perspective on marriage and courtship among the mid-eighteenth-century leisure classes, characterized by its unsentimental realism. The engaging prose captures the nuances of courtship, making it both amusing and insightful. This edition, edited by John Richetti, includes a new introduction and is fully annotated, reviving a work that has been out of print since the early nineteenth century. It showcases Haywood's significant contributions to literature as one of the era's most prolific female authors.
