Fantomina, o el Laberinto del Amor: Historia secreta de un romance entre dos personas de clase

The protagonist’s manipulations and disguises seem both daring and risky for the period. Did readers at the time see her as a rebellious figure or something else?

Her actions seem to blur the line between agency and naivety, which made me wonder about her true motives and societal constraints.

The 18th-century London backdrop adds so much flavor, but I wonder if Haywood based it on real places or events she observed.
