Two classics by one of early America's most successful women writers

A Penguin Classic

First published in 1794, Charlotte Temple was the biggest bestseller of American literary history until Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, half a century later. The story of a young English girl who elopes to America, there only to be cruelly abandoned, Charlotte Temple was repeatedly dramatized during the nineteenth century and provided inspiration for D. W. Griffith's Way Down East. Lucy Temple, Rowson's fascinating sequel, tells the story of Charlotte's orphaned daughter.
