Opis

Sukey Vickerya's Emily Hamilton is an epistolary novel dealing with the courtship and marriages of three women. Originally published in 1803 it is one of the earliest examples of realist fiction in America and a departure from other novels at the turn of the nineteenth century. From the outset its author intended it as a realist project never delving into the overly sentimental plotting or characterization present in much of the writing of Vickerya's contemporaries. Emily Hamilton explores from a decidedly feminine perspective the idea of a womana's right to choose her own spouse and the importance of female friendship. Vickerya's characterization of women further diverges from the typical eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century didactic of the righteous/sinful woman and depicts instead believable female characters exhibiting true-to-life behaviour.A presentation of this novel accompanied by Vickerya's poetry letters a diary fragment and a few nineteenth-century responses to her work Emily Hamilton and Other Writings is the first complete collection of Vickerya's writings.
