Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New-England Tale, or Sketches of New England Character and Manners The writer of this tale has made an humble effort to add something to the scanty stock of native American literature. Any attempt to conciliate favour by apologies would be unavailing and absurd. In this free country, no person is under any obligation to write; and the public (unfortunately) is under no obligation to read. It is certainly desirable to possess some sketches of the character and manners of our own country, and if this has been done with any degree of success, it would be wrong to doubt that it will find a reception sufficiently favourable. The original design of the author was, if possible, even more limited and less ambitious than what has been accomplished.

This book was released on 1995-09-28 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early American Women Writers series offers rare works of fiction by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century women, each reprinted it its entirety, each with a foreword by General Editor Cathy N. Davidson, who places the novel in a historical and literary perspective. Ranging from serious cautionary tales about moral corruption to amusing and trenchant social satire, these books provide today's reader with a unique window into the earliest American popular fiction and way of life. Written in 1822, A New-England Tale is the first of Catharine Sedgwick's twenty novels in addition to the one hundred short magazine pieces she published in her lifetime. The story of an orphan girl in rural New England and the moral and religious trials she faces as she grows up, this intriguing portrait provides a unique look at the religious and political climate of this crucial period in America's development as a country. Addressing many of the complex religious, political, and philosophical issues of the time, as well as theoretical issues of the woman writer, A New-England Tale is a classic nineteenth-century story of a young woman's moral and material triumphs.

Book excerpt: The writer of this tale has made an humble effort to add something to the scanty stock of native American literature. Any attempt to conciliate favour by apologies would be unavailing and absurd. In this free country, no person is under any obligation to write; and the public (unfortunately) is under no obligation to read.

The original design of the author was, if possible, even more limited and less ambitious than what has been accomplished. It was simply to produce a very short and simple moral tale of the most humble description; and if in the course of its production it has acquired any thing of a peculiar or local cast, this should be chiefly attributed to the habits of the writer's education, and that kind of accident which seems to control the efforts of those who have not been the subjects of strict intellectual discipline, and have not sufficiently premeditated their own designs

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old New England Town: Sketches of Life, Scenery, Character The old New England town has peculiar interest for us. It has taken a conspicuous part in the development of our social life and political institutions. And there are few towns that have achieved a more honorable distinction than Fairfield. Mindful of this fact, the Daughters of the American Revolution who constitute the Eunice Dennie Burr Chapter invited the writer of the following papers to give a course of lectures upon the old New England town which was especially dear to them. He was pleased to accept this courteous invitation, for his love of Fairfield was deep and strong, and he appreciated the fact that the town had made large and notable contributions to the life of the Colony and the Republic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of New England, or Memories of the Country The Author of the following pages is a New Englander. He was born on the banks of one of her beautiful rivers, and was nurtured among her mountains. He boasts his descent direct from one of those stern Old Puritans who chartered the Mayflower, and much of his childhood was spent on the very homestead, where the good man pitched his tent, and cleared his land. Like many of her sons indeed, he has, in riper years, wandered over sundry parts of the world, and has seen and known much of its excellence and beauty but he has always returned to the rude and rocky shore of New Eng land, with new love for her homes and her institutions, -new respect for her hardy sons. He is Willing to confess that all his predilections are for New England; that although Aba na and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, are better than all her streams, he loves them not as well that he would live upon her barren soil, and die there among his kindred.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bay-Path: A Tale of New England Colonial Life For Whatever of plot there may be in the fol lowing tale, history must, in a general way, be held responsible. The names, localities, char acters, and leading incidents are historical. The tale is, in reality, a section or segment of history, withdrawn from its location and relations, and endowed with a life and spirit which aim to be consistent and harmonious with the body of facts with which they are brought into association. Had the writer felt at liberty to develop his plot entirely at his will, or, rather, had he not felt that history was a more reliable, guide to the ends sought to be attained than imagination, some portions of the work, which may not be deemed artistic, would have been differently con structed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norwood: Or, Village Life in New England Life Before the Civil War, I had for several years been a regular contributor to the New York Ledger. During that great conflict I had almost entirely ceased writing for it. But when the war was closed, I was not unwilling to seek rest or relaxation from the exhausting excitement of public affairs, by turning my mind into entirely new channels of thought and interest. In this mood I received Mr. Bonner's proposal to write a story for the Ledger. Had it been a request to carve a statue or build a man-of-war, the task would hardly have seemed less likely of accomplishment. A very moderate reader, even, of fictions, I had never studied the mystery of their construction. Plot and counterplot, the due proportion of parts, the whole machinery of a novel, seemed hopelessly outside of my studies. But after-considerations came to my relief. I reflected that any real human experience was intrisically interesting; that the life of a humble family for a single day, even if not told as skilfully as Wordsworth sung the humble aspects of the natural world, or as minutely faithful as Crabbe depicted English village-life, could hardly fail to win some interest. The habit of looking upon men as the children of God, and heirs of immorality, can hardly fail to clothe the simplest and most common elements of daily life with importance, and even with dignity.
