| Description: |
Set on the Western frontier of the new America, this epistolary novel combines a love story with descriptions of the landscape and of wilderness adventures, including one of the first instances of Indian captivity in American fiction. |
| Synopsis: |
Imlay s delightful epistolary adventure of 1793, set on the American frontier, was one of the first American novels. The trials of an emigrant family in the Ohio River Valley of Kentucky contrast the decadence of Europe with the utopian promise of the American West. Its sensational love plots also dramatize the novel s surprising feminist allegiances." |
