While under arrest in 1750 on suspicion of producing a seditious
pamphlet Eliza Haywood insisted she 'never wrote any thing in a
political way'. This study of the life and works, the first
full-length biography of Haywood in nearly a century, takes the
measure of her duplicity.

Written by a combination of established scholars and new critics in
the field, the essays collected in Circuit of
Apollo attest to the vital practice of commemorating
women’s artistic and personal relationships. In doing so, they
illuminate the complexity of female friendships and honor as well
as the robust creativity and intellectual work contributed by women
to culture in the long eighteenth century. Women’s tributes to
each other sometimes took the form of critical engagement or
competition, but they always exposed the feminocentric networks of
artistic, social, and material exchange women created and
maintained both in and outside of London. This volume advocates for
a new perspective for researching and teaching early modern women
that is grounded in admiration. Published by University of Delaware
Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
