Like `The Coquette' this novel was immensely popular in its day and was in fact the most popular novel in America until `Uncle Tom's Cabin'.

Synopsis:

The 'Sentimental Novel' was extremely popular in America after the Revolution, Written in a tradition established by Samuel Richardson, they told tales of vice and virtue based on true stories. Charlotte Temple and The Coquette by Hannah W. Foster (see below) were two of the most successful novels of the period. Reissued in paperback editions with new introductions, they offer a glimpse of the earliest American popular fiction. Both are also announced in the Oxford General Books catalogue for Autumn 1987.
