Description

Charlotte Lennox's Euphemia is an extraordinary account of pre-Revolutionary America from a woman's perspective. Constructed from letters between Euphemia Neville and her friend Maria Harley, the novel tells the story of Euphemia's marriage to a thoughtless man and her experiences living in New York City and at British forts in the colony. Euphemia chronicles both her private life and how it intersects with those of other British men and women, as well as the Dutch, Native American, and African American inhabitants of the colony. The novel also includes a version of a captivity narrative in the story of Euphemia's son being captured by Hurons. This Broadview edition includes contemporary reviews of Euphemia and a wealth of other contemporary materials on marriage, travel, the picturesque, and the captivity narrative.
