The Life and Romances of Mrs. Eliza Haywood Book Reviews
The Life and Romances of Mrs. Eliza Haywood by George Frisbie Whicher Book Summary
This is a biographical book. Autobiography was almost the only form of writing not attempted by Eliza Haywood in the course of her long career as an adventuress in letters. Unlike Mme de Villedieu or Mrs. Manley she did not publish the story of her life romantically disguised as the Secret History of Eliza, nor was there One of the Fair Sex (real or pretended) to chronicle her 'strange and surprising adventures', as had happened with Mrs. Aphra Behn's fictitious exploits and amorous correspondence. Indeed the first biographer of Mrs. Haywood hints that 'from a supposition of some improper liberties being taken with her character after death by the intermixture of truth and falsehood with her history', the apprehensive dame had herself suppressed the facts of her life by laying a 'solemn injunction on a person who was well acquainted with all the particulars of it, not to communicate to any one the least circumstance relating to her'. The success of her precaution is evident in the scantiness of our information about her. The few details recorded in the 'Biographia Dramatica' can be amplified only by a tissue of probabilities. Consequently Mrs. Haywood's one resemblance to Shakespeare is the obscurity that covers the events of her life. She was born in London, probably in 1693, and her father, a man by the name of Fowler, was a small shop-keeper. She speaks vaguely of having received an education beyond that afforded to the generality of her sex. Her marriage to Valentine Haywood, a clergyman at least fifteen years older than his spouse, took place before she was twenty, for the Register of St. Mary Aldermary records on 3 December, 1711, the christening of Charles, son of Valentine Haywood, clerk, and Elizabeth his wife. Her husband held at this time a small living in Norfolk, and had recently been appointed lecturer of St. Mathews, Friday Street. Whether the worthy cleric resided altogether in London and discharged his duties in the country by proxy, or whether Mrs. Haywood, like Tristram Shandy's mother, enjoyed the privilege of coming to town only on certain interesting occasions, are questions which curious research fails to satisfy. At any rate, one of the two children assigned to her by tradition was born, as we have seen, in London.
