Fantomina, or, Love in a Maze is a novella by Eliza Haywood which
charts an unnamed female protagonist's pursuit of the charming,
shallow Beauplaisir. Dealing with major themes such as identity,
class and sexual desire, and first published in 1725, Fantomina
subverts the popular 'persecuted maiden' narrative, and reaches a
climax which would have shocked its contemporary readership. Moving
to London, a young woman - let's call her Fantomina - meets a
dashing man at the theatre. After a short, but intense, fling,
Beauplaisir grows bored of Fantomina, and leaves her. Outraged that
she should be so treated, Fantomina discards her disguise in favour
of another, and sets off in hot pursuit of her victim, and a game
of cat and mouse begins. This edition features an introduction by
Dr Sarah R. Creel, Bethany E. Qualls and Dr Anna K. Sagal of the
International Eliza Haywood Society.
