I love Eliza Haywood so so much. She has an accessible writing style (by 18th century standards), and she writes about women as sexual beings and flawed people. Her essays from the Female Spectator are an interesting combination of her fictional pieces and the moralistic conduct writing popular at the time. This collection contains traditional essays, stories, letters, and "reader submissions" (Haywood wrote most of the stuff published), and is a genuinely fun read.
