Periodicals etc.: The Tea-table, written and edited by Eliza Haywood; The Parrot, by pseud. Mrs. Prattle (by Eliza Heywood and others), 1728; The Female Spectator, written and edited by Haywood, began 1744; The Lady’s weekly magazine, pseud. Mrs. Penelope Pry, 1747
Overall: Haywood was incredibly prolific, writing poetry throughout her life, in addition to plays, translations, and journalistic pieces. However, she is best remembered for her prose fictions, which are considered forerunners to the novel. Financially distressed in the 1720s, some plays were acted for her benefit. She was an actress for a while, and she also started some Female periodicals. It seems that writing was her sole form of income for most of her life.
