Sinopse
Características

Considered the first American bestseller, this early captivity narrative follows Mary Rowlandsons three month holding by the American Algonquian Indians. The first by an Anglo-American woman, Mrs. Rowlandsons Narrative remains a classic. Captivating to readers since its initial publication in 1682, this account presents a unique perspective on transcultural interaction between early American settlers and their Native American counterparts. Following King Phillips War, Mary and her three children were seized by Algonquian Indians in her town of Lancaster, Massachusetts. What ensued is a harrowing journey of tremendous hardship up to her release per ransom. Rowlandson integrates Puritan ideologies and Biblical verses; attributing much of her survival upon her Lord. The books popularity inspired a generation of settlement novelists to incorporate the authenticity of Rowlandsons Narrative into their works. Influence can be seen in the novels of Charles Brockden Brown and James Fenimore Cooper. This text is of great value to both the scholar and the general reader for its social and historical insight into the adolescent years of America.
