Mary Kelley is Mary Brinsmead Wheelock Professor of History at Dartmouth College. The author of Private Woman, Public Stage: Literary Domesticity in Nineteenth-Century America, she has also coauthored The Limits of Sisterhood: The Beecher Sisters on Women’s Rights and Woman’s Sphere. Most recently, she edited The Portable Margaret Fuller. Catharine Maria Sedgwick (December 28, 1789 – July 31, 1867) was one of the most notable female novelists of the early nineteeth century. She wrote works set in the colonial and early American periods, and combined a naturalistic and romantic style with protests against Puritan oppressiveness. Her spirited female characters stood in direct contrast to the traditional roles of women of the period.

This handsome reprint... makes available after many decades the New Englander's tale of seventeenth-century Puritans and their relations with the indigenous Indian population. (Nineteenth-Century Literature) Develop[s] the connections between patriarchal authority within the Puritan state and its policy of dispossessing and exterminating Indians. The different heritage it envisions explicitly links white women and Indians and elaborates a communal concept of liberty at odds with the individualistic concept which predominated in American culture.  (Legacy) A splendidly conceived edition of Sedgwick's historical romance.
