The Coquette (Digireads.com Classic)

It wasn't until , after multiple reprints of the novel, and 26 years after the author's death, that her name appeared on the work. The novel is a fictionalized. The novel is a fictionalized account of a Connecticut socialite named Eliza Wharton, whose death nine years prior had been highly publicized. Wharton was a 37 yr-old woman who died at a roadside tavern giving birth to a stillborn, and being unmarried, her death was turned into a moral allegory by ministers and journalists.

Women were lectured on the moral consequences of reading romantic novels, and Eliza Wharton was labeled as a coquette. Foster wrote the novel in epistolary form, which allowed for an unbiased perspective of the characters and their actions. Drawing on factual information from the newspaper accounts, Foster gave a much more sympathetic portrayal of Wharton and the repressive social conditions that faced woman of the time.

Pantheon der winnaars van de Nobelprijs voor Literatuur. The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. A Story With Many Sides. Hannah Webster Foster's novel The Coquette is an excellent example of women's literature written during a period of American history in which man typically dictated societal standards of literature and behavior. The story is based on the life of Elizabeth Whitman, an educated and well-bred woman who came to an inn alone, pregnant, and seemingly unwed.

She gave birth to a child and died soon after. When this scandal happened in , it inspired a media firestorm that criticized the woman's fall from grace and cautioned other young ladies from meeting the same end. The novel imagines the context and background of this story through the main character Eliza Wharton. As a young single woman, she enjoys socializing and cultivating friendships.

When the future preacher Mr. Boyer and the flirtatious Major Sanford both express interest in her, she refuses to immediately settle down and marry in favor of getting to know both men and enjoying a fun life. Instead of blaming the woman or focusing on the scandalous aspect of the tale as the media did, The Coquette is told in epistolary format, which allows the story to be told from many different points of view, including Eliza, Mr. Boyer, Major Sanford, and friends of all three. This approach gives the reader a more complete view of the strict expectations and standards that Eliza is held to by her friends, mother, potential suitors, and neighbors.

The reader also gets a first person account of Eliza's wishes for her own happiness and how she views the gender-specific expectations of her time. Additionally, these letters show the kinds of female camaraderie that existed and the ways in which male-dominated society occasionally created obstacles in these friendships. Most women in this era of American history were not expected to become successful authors, so men typically dictated how they were portrayed. The Coquette also places the 18th century gendered stereotypes of "rake" and "coquette" in comparison with each other.

While Major Sanford is deemed a "rake" by others for his habit of seducing women he does not intend to marry, he is still able to move about freely in society and marry a wealthy woman, despite the fact that his behavior is intentionally hurtful to women. However, when Eliza is deemed a "coquette," she is chastised by friends and limited in her marriage options, even though she simply wished to assess her options before choosing a man to marry. The novel examines institutionalized discrimination against women in the form of stereotypes and unfair treatment.

In 18th century American society, women were expected to marry a respectable man and have children. None of the novel's female characters have a career or any real type of fulfillment outside of the domestic sphere and the family. Throughout the novel, Foster shows the ways in which this kind of expectation and forced lifestyle can be harmful to women when they are not given any alternatives. Through this kind of narrative, Foster illustrates how Eliza's sad end was not solely brought about by personal errors, but by a society that attempted to restrict women to a certain place.
