Book excerpt: This is volume II of Catharine Maria Sedgwick's 1835 historical romance "The Linwoods; or Sixty Years Since in America." Set during the American Revolution, it uses day-to-day city life to explore the American character, defined by its relationship with Britain and France. The novel also investigates the battle between Old World conceptions of class and the contemporary reality of American democracy. This fantastic book is highly recommended for those with an interest in American history, particularly the American Revolution. Catharine Maria Sedgwick (1789 - 1867) was an American novelist and prominent supporter of Republican motherhood whose work is frequently referred to as "domestic fiction." Other notable works by this author include: "Hope Leslie" (1827), "The Linwoods" (1835), "Live and Let Live" (1837). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
