Omschrijving

The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless is a novel written by Eliza Fowler Haywood and first published in 1751. The book is a satirical and moralistic tale that follows the adventures of the titular character, Betsy Thoughtless, a young woman who is impulsive and carefree. In the novel, Betsy marries a wealthy man named Mr. Munden, but soon discovers that he is unfaithful and abusive. She leaves him and embarks on a journey of self-discovery, encountering various suitors and experiencing the highs and lows of life as an independent woman. Throughout the book, Haywood critiques the societal expectations and gender roles of the time, while also exploring themes of love, marriage, and personal responsibility. The novel is notable for its realistic portrayal of women's lives and relationships during the 18th century, and for its use of epistolary form, with the story being told through a series of letters between characters. The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless remains a significant work of early English literature and a valuable insight into the social and cultural norms of the time.In Four Volumes.
