The Coquette or the History of Eliza Wharton - Dover Thrift Editions
Author: Hannah Webster Foster
Based on the true and tragic story of Eliza Whitman, the subject of America's first tabloid scandal, this 1797 sentimental novel both satirizes and pays homage to its moralistic predecessors. The heroine's dilemma ? a choice between duty, romance, and her personal freedom ? reflects the limited options available to 18th-century women.
