Críticas

"Great introduction, nicely produced version of an American classic. Should stay in print continuously as a basic text."--Timothy Morris, University of Texas, Arlington "The most up-to-date introduction available of an early American novel."--Richard S. Pressman, St. Mary's University, San Antonio "Davidson has given a fine introduction to this important work and one which--at last--respects the text and makes this view available to students."--Sarah E. Newton, California State University "A very important book for the ongoing re-evolution of American literature. I'm very pleased that you've made it available for classroom use."--Thomas F. Berninghausen, Clark University "Clear text - excellent, if a bit dogmatic, critical essay by Davidson."--Robert Donahou, Sam Houston State University "A marvelous text with all the additional information necessary without adding 'clutter' to the book. . . . a beautiful book in every sense at a reasonable price for students."--Dr. Marion Perry, Erie Community College-South

Reseña del editor

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.
