{"product_id":"the-coquette-hannah-webster-foster-9780486796192","title":"The Coquette: Or, the History of Eliza Wharton","description":"The demise of a respectable but unloved fianc  introduces a sudden and intoxicating freedom into Eliza Wharton's life. Two new beaus vie for her attention: Reverend Boyer, a staid and proper clergyman, and Major Sanford, a dashing libertine. Reluctant to commit to either suitor, Eliza struggles with the conflicts between duty, romance, and her new-found independence.\u003cbr\u003eBased on the true story of Eliza Whitman, the much-talked-about focus of America's first tabloid scandal, this 1797 novel both satirizes and pays homage to its sentimental precursors. The tale unfolds from a variety of perspectives, recounted in a series of letters between the heroine and her friends and family. Eliza's situation reflects the limited options available to middle-class women of her era, and her dilemma and its resolution offer fascinating historical, literary, and cultural insights into early American society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hannah Webster Foster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486796191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486796192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Hannah Webster Foster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044781093119,"sku":"9780486796192","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2eabc0dd-f440-43d9-9729-6d7908e1c14f.jpg?v=1684974853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-coquette-hannah-webster-foster-9780486796192","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
