(1986; selections 1723-25)

It's a collection of four novels of Eliza Haywood, each of which involves disguise and mistaken identity. I think I've mentioned that "amatory fiction" reads to me like sex comedy from an alternate dimension, and these confirm that impression. It's hard to rate because I don't know what standards apply. But all four titles engaged my attention, sometimes my bebafflement, and made me laugh inappropriately. So thumbs up.
