Her early tales of amorous intrigue, sometimes based on real people, were exceedingly popular though controversial. Haywood, along with her contemporary Daniel Defoe, did more than any other writer to create a market for fiction in the period just prior to the emergence of Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, and Tobias Smollett, the dominant novelists of the mid-eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scheming, sexually predatory anti-heroine of \u003ci\u003eThe Injur'd Husband\u003c\/i\u003e is a memorable villain who defies all expectations of a woman's conduct in marriage. The heroine of \u003ci\u003eLasselia\u003c\/i\u003e is initially a model of virtue who bravely resists the advances of a king, only to be driven by her passion and desire into an illicit affair with a married man and ultimately into ruin. These two provocative narratives strikingly represent Haywood's extraordinary contribution to the development of the novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eJerry C.
