{"product_id":"love-in-excess-second-edition-9781551113678","title":"Love in Excess - Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eEliza Haywood (1693-1756) was one of the most successful writers of her time; indeed, the two most popular English novels in the early eighteenth-century were \u003cem\u003eRobinson Crusoe\u003c\/em\u003e and Haywood's first novel, \u003cem\u003eLove in Excess\u003c\/em\u003e. As this edition enables modern readers to discover, its enormous success is easy to understand. \u003cem\u003eLove in Excess\u003c\/em\u003e is a well crafted novel in which the claims of love and ambition are pursued through multiple storylines until the heroine engineers a melodramatic conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaywood's frankness about female sexuality may explain the later neglect of \u003cem\u003eLove in Excess\u003c\/em\u003e.
