A Woman of Shawmut: A Romance of Colonial Times is a historical novel written by Edmund Janes Carpenter and published in 1891. The story is set in colonial Boston in the mid-17th century and revolves around the life of a young woman named Barbara Stafford. Barbara is a strong-willed and independent woman who has to navigate the challenges of living in a society that is dominated by men.The novel explores the themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal as Barbara falls in love with a young man named John Endicott, who is the son of the governor of Massachusetts. However, their love is threatened by the political and religious tensions of the time, as well as the disapproval of John's father.As the story unfolds, Barbara finds herself caught up in a web of intrigue and danger, as she becomes embroiled in a plot to overthrow the governor and establish a new government in Massachusetts. Along the way, she must confront her own fears and doubts, as well as the treachery of those around her.Through Barbara's story, Carpenter offers a vivid and compelling portrait of colonial Boston, with its Puritan values, its political turmoil, and its deep-seated prejudices against women. The novel is a powerful exploration of the human heart and the complexities of love and loyalty, set against the backdrop of a fascinating historical period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
