About This Book

A collection of personal letters by Eliza Southgate Bowne traces her upbringing in a New England seaport household, education at regional schools, social visits and travels, and the courtship and early years of marriage. The correspondence offers lively domestic detail, observations on manners and society, and thoughtful reflections on education and the roles of women, delivered with plain candor and youthful wit. An introductory essay situates the letters, and occasional portraits and views accompany the selections, together sketching family networks, social circles, and everyday life in the period.
