3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting Piece of Americana,
This review is from: Charlotte Temple and Lucy Temple (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
While vastly inferior to Jane Austen, who followed a few years later, Rowson does stand out as one of the better early-American writers. In a style foreshadowing Harriet Beecher Stowe, Rowson shows how life punishes vice. The second book, Lucy Temple, is less pedantic and more entertaining. This book is best for enthusiasts of early American Literature.

Wondrous!,
This review is from: Charlotte Temple and Lucy Temple (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
A shimmering example of subtle prose and authorial restraint. More writers today ought tackle such age-old issues with such delicacy and charm.
