Hope Leslie - Catharine Maria Sedgwick

“Hope Leslie” is a 1827 novel by American novelist Catharine Sedgwick. Unusually progressive for the time it was published, Sedgwick’s novel contains strong feminist overtones and notions of justice towards Native Americans. In this, her third novel, Sedgwick recounts a dramatic conflict between colonists, Native Americans and the British Empire. A fascinating novel that earned its author a large readership and healthy reputation and is still an interesting read today. Other notable works by this author include: “A New England Tale” (1822), “The Linwoods” (1835), and “Home” (1835). Many vintage books such as this are 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.
