First Edition
Octavo, two volumes: pp. [1-2] 1-294; [1-4] 1-278 [279-280: blank] 1-4 [half title leaf in volume 2; key present in both volumes], woodcut head- and tailpieces and initials, contemporary polished calf tooled in gold, brown leather labels. First edition, second printing of volume one, first printing of volume two. "An anonymously published allegorical utopian novel built around a series of sexual scandals" (Nicholls). "A strange tale of lust, greed, scandal, corruption and predatory male sexuality. In addition, Haywood uses it as a vehicle of assault on members of her personal hate-list, including the publisher Edmund Curll, the duchess of Marlborough (Sarah Churchill), the poet Richard Savage, and the writer Martha Fowke Sansom. The inhabitants of the notorious island pretend to venerate love but actually worship lust and avarice, sacrificing to the goddess Pecunia. The central character, a libertine rapist named Bertoldus, rapes his friend Anselmo's fiancée Cipriana. But Anselmo reaps his revenge by substituting a woman with venereal disease, with the result that ulcers consume Bertoldus's flesh and rottenness consumes his bones. Narrated by one Cupid, an 'author of that country,' and printed anonymously in 1725, the book was soon identified as Haywood's work" (Howgego). The second book is designated Volume II on its half title page and title page but "part the second" at the beginning of the text on page 1. It was issued a year after the first part was published in 1725. Eliza Haywood (c. 1693-1756), actress and novelist, produced around eighty works, including thirty popular novels, several of them politically and socially inspired satires set in imaginary kingdoms. The "most prolific female author of her time . much of her work of proto SF interest was aggressively 'scandalous,' containing thinly veiled characterizations of notable contemporaries . Haywood has attracted considerable attention in recent decades as an important early novelist, and as a precursor feminist" (Nicholls). Mrs. Haywood was Pope's object of wrath in the DUNCIAD.
