Speculative investment and the popular novel can be seen as
analogous in the early eighteenth century in offering new forms of
'paper credit'; and in both, women - who invested enthusiastically
in financial schemes, and were significant producers and consumers
of novels - played an essential role. Examining women's
participation in the South Sea Bubble and the representations of
investors and stockjobbers as 'feminized', Catherine Ingrassia
discusses the connection between the cultural resistance to
speculative finance and hostility to the similarly 'feminized'
professional writers that Alexander Pope depicts in The Dunciad.
Focusing on Eliza Haywood, and also on her male contemporaries Pope
and Samuel Richardson, Ingrassia goes on to illustrate how new
financial and fictional models offered important models for women's
social, sexual, and economic interaction.
