Description

Fatal Errors is a rediscovered novel by Elizabeth Hays (c. 1765-1825), sister of philosopher Mary Hays, finally brought to light after more than two centuries. Written in the late 1790s but not published until 1819 under her married name Lanfear, this work vanished from literary history until its discovery in the British Library in December 2015. The manuscript was famously reviewed by Mary Wollstonecraft in 1796, yet scholars of women's literature had assumed it was never published, making this Chawton House Library edition a significant recovery of overlooked Regency-era fiction. This scholarly text restores an important voice to the canon of late eighteenth-century women novelists and offers new insights into the intellectual networks of the period, including the influence of Wollstonecraft's critique on the author's work.

Key Features

Fatal Errors was originally written by Elizabeth Hays in the late 1790s but remained unpublished under her own name for over two decades.

Mary Wollstonecraft read and commented on the manuscript version in 1796, making this a historically significant work within feminist literary circles.

The novel was finally published in 1819 under Elizabeth's married name Lanfear, causing it to be lost to modern scholarship until its 2015 rediscovery.

This Chawton House Library edition represents an important scholarly recovery that restores a missing woman novelist to the literary record.

As part of the Chawton House Library Women's Novels series, this title contextualises Elizabeth Hays within the broader tradition of women's writing from the Romantic period.
