Reviews
This novel captures very well the dilemma of late 18th-Century American women. Despite their own misgivings about reading a novel of this sort students became caught up in Eliza Wharton's plight and quickly understood the forces at work in her life. It makes a great text for class discussions. * Sonya Michel, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign *
An extremely perceptive introduction, intelligent and accurate. The text is nicely done. Making this important document available is a real service. * Jack Scherting, Utah State University *
Handsome, useful, well-introduced edition of a very important text. * Timothy Morris, University of Texas, Arlington *
I like Davidson's introduction quite a bit; good choice! * Christine De Vinne, Ohio State University *
A very well presented and important volume. * Dr. Marion Perry, Erie Community College-South *
This edition, with the invaluable introduction by Cathy Davidson, is a wonderful teaching text for courses in American Literature, Women's Literature, Introduction to Literature and Cultural Literature. * Lorrayne Carroll, University of Southern Maine *
