A New-England Tale pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Jane Elton, orphaned as a young girl, goes to live with her aunt Mrs. Wilson, a selfish and overbearing woman who practices a repressive Calvinism. In their rural New England village, Jane grows up yearning to break free from Mrs. Wilson's tyranny and find her place as a citizen of the evolving American Republic. She is helped by her encounters with characters who embody various shadings of moral, religious, and civic virtue: the affectionate servant Mary Hull, a pious Methodist; Mr. Lloyd, a kind Quaker; Crazy Bet, emotional, sympathetic, but deeply unstable; and Old John, bereaved but wise. Ultimately, "A New-England Tale" is about the connection between parenting and governing, and the key role women play in shaping a fledgling nation. Edited with an Introduction by Susan K. Harris. Notes by Emily E. Van Dette.
