“An Undisputed Right to this Offering”: A Critical Edition of Eliza Haywood’s Dedicatory Epistle of The Female Spectator to Juliana Colyear, Duchess of Leeds


This free edition is part of my project to make portions of Haywood’s historically significant periodical (it is widely considered the first periodical by a woman for women) glossed and edited, and available to a wider audience that includes scholars, graduate and undergraduate students.

This new digital edition is available to be explored at Human Abstracts >> Digital Editions >> “An Undisputed Right to this Offering.”
