| 520 | |a This book examines the novel Charlotte Temple in the context of its author's, Susanna Rowson's, life and other writings. Rowson was a novelist, actress, playwright, poet, school founder, and early national celebrity. She bears little resemblance to the title character in her most famous creation, Charlotte Temple, yet this best-selling novel has long been perceived as the prime exemplar of female passivity and subjugation in the early Republic. The author shows how an early form of American sentimentalism mediated the constantly shifting balance between autonomy and submission that is key to understanding both Rowson's work and the lives of early American women. She proposes that Rowson found a wide female audience because she articulated meaningful female agency without sacrificing accountability to authority, a particularly useful skill in a nation that idealized womanhood while denying women the most basic rights. Rowson, herself an expert at personal reinvention, invited her readers, theatrical audiences, and students to value carefully crafted female self-presentation as an instrument for the attainment of greater influence. | ||
