The primary aim of this paper is to take issue with the common approach that Eliza Haywood’s Female Spectator is part of the conservative conduct literature that advocates the ideal of domestic women within the private sphere. This paper focuses on the complex ways in which her periodical challenges the visual authority of Mr. Spectator and profoundly revises the assumptions towards women and consumption found in Joseph Addison and Richard Steele’s The Spectator papers. In doing so, I argue that Haywood’s periodical does not function as a passive conduit for patriarchal norms and domestic ideology but should be seen as a radical intervention in reformulating spectatorship in ways that empower women. By establishing her authority as a discerning female spectator who is able to challenge men’s “scrutinizing gaze,” Haywood not only becomes a powerful model for her readers but insists that women can become active seeing subjects who can exercise proper judgments and participate in both private and public realms.
Abstract
The primary aim of this paper is to take issue with the common approach that Eliza Haywood’s Female Spectator is part of the conservative conduct literature that advocates the ideal of domestic women within the private sphere. This paper focuses on the complex ways in which her periodical challenges the visual authority of Mr. Spectator and profoundly revises the assumptions towards women and consumption found in Joseph Addison and Richard Steele’s The Spectator papers. In doing so, I argue that Haywood’s periodical does not function as a passive conduit for patriarchal norms and domestic ideology but should be seen as a radical intervention in reformulating spectatorship in ways that empower women. By establishing her authority as a discerning female spectator who is able to challenge men’s “scrutinizing gaze,” Haywood not only becomes a powerful model for her readers but insists that women can become active seeing subjects who can exercise proper judgments and participate in both private and public realms.
