From the Paper
"Education is indirectly explored in Haywood?s ?The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless.? The heroine spends her formative years in a boarding school, ?the governess of which had the reputation of a woman of great good sense, fine breeding, and every way qualified for the well forming of the minds of those young persons who were entrusted to her care. [Her father] was so well pleased with having placed his daughter where she was likely to improve in all the accomplishments befitting her sex." (Haywood, 9) Through the misadventures of Miss Betsy Thoughtless, Haywood implies that one of the reasons why a girl should be educated would be to enhance her chances of securing a good marriage (then the only means of climbing the social ladder or attaining an accomplishment recognised by society)."

Abstract
The paper describes the life of Eliza Haywood, an eighteenth century English author whose literary works were considered scandalous for the times she lived in in. The paper examines Haywood's novel, "The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless". It shows that modern scholarship elevates this novel as Haywood?s most successful and most influential work. The paper examines how Eliza Haywood so successfully managed to meet her contemporaries in using the new genre of the novel to elicit reform, especially the reforms of women's educational standards and the position of women in marriage and family life.
From the Paper
"There is no shame to be found in the propriety with which Haywood?s evolution as an author took her, as those were the true restrictions experienced by women of her class and of her time. The early challenges and the heated controversy that were elicited by her early works may have left her in a historical position of obscurity but they prove she was making an attempt to alter a system that left female authors unrecognized outside of infamy. Looking back at her works and the biographical information available for her leaves a modern literary historian happily intrigued by her narrative and her life and there is nothing like a mystery to engage modern thought on historical evolution in literature or life."

From the Paper
" The collection When We Are Free, edited by Dale M. Haywood, Timothy G. Nash, and R. John Amin, is a book about freedom, as the editors note in the Preface. They state that their book is "an unapologetic endorsement of freedom and all of its corollaries" (vii), but a central issue in the book is economic freedom and how it relates to those corollaries--individualism, morality, the rule of law, responsibility, private property, free markets, limited government, and enterprise. In keeping with this theme, the book is divided into sections that develop the idea of capitalism as the economic ideal and freedom as a necessary condition for capitalism. The readings develop the ideas of the importance of property and its relationship to human life, the role of government, systems of economic organization, the specific nature of the American system, and various elements.."

Abstract
This paper examines how Eliza Haywood?s novel, "Love in Excess", suggests that passionate emotion is a universal sentiment. It looks at how the characters? thoughts posit that there is a universal language of love that dissolves the prominence of gender and how, at the same time, the novel works to enforce codes of amorous action that are inherently linked to gender, perhaps to suggest that these codes serve some purpose. It explores how the novel does not censure internal expressions of true passion, although it does at times suggest that sexual codes of conduct are necessary. Characters who overstep the boundaries of conduct too flagrantly generally censure themselves through self-destruction. The characters that self-destruct do so specifically because they take actions that transgress gender boundaries.
From the Paper
"According to the narrator, love is its own agent; it is a force that acts independent and without regard for the people whom it affects. Because humanity has no control over love, it cannot be held responsible for the feelings it evokes. This force is so far beyond the cognitive capabilities of man that is ?ceases to be worthy? of a simple definition or ?that name? that society has given it. The idea that man becomes ?really possest with it,? posits love as a supernatural force. One usurped by this force can no longer be held accountable because he cannot be ?master of his actions.? The human being is little more than a victim, much as one might be victim to a ?misfortune? such as ?poverty, sickness or deformity.? Essentially, love is a disease that anyone of ?human nature? is susceptible to."

Abstract
This paper reviews a court case brought against the National Football League (NFL) by a player arguing that NFL rules regarding eligibility to enter the league are conspiratorial against his ability to earn a living. The paper explains, in detail, the history and purpose of antitrust laws and the logic behind the judge's decision in the case, which declared that the NFL is indeed in violation of antitrust legislation because of the qualifications it required of players to enter the game. The paper also presents the legal position of the NFL and, in the conclusion, offers reasons why the author agrees with their position as well.

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is hard to conceive how these laws apply to the ability, or inability of a person who wants to enter a professional football career, but the recent court case brought by Maurice Clarett against the NFL charged that their rules regarding eligibility to enter the league are conspiratorial against his ability to earn a living. The NFL has placed age requirements on individuals. The want to make sure that a person who applies to for the job of a football player in the NFL will have developed the talent, as well as physical and emotional maturity to be qualified for the game. None the less this recent court action by Judge Shira Scheindin has declared that the NFL is in violation of antitrust legislation because of the qualifications it required of players to enter the game."
