Charlotte Lennox's Euphemia, published in 1790 at the end of her
professional career, is an extraordinary account of
pre-Revolutionary America from a woman's perspective. Constructed
from letters between Euphemia Neville and her friend Maria Harley,
the novel tells the story of Euphemia's marriage to a thoughtless,
arrogant man. During the years Euphemia lives in New York City and
at the forts at Albany and Schenectady as the wife of a British
army officer, she chronicles in her letters to Maria both her
private life and how that life intersects with those of other
British men and women, as well as the Dutch, Native American, and
African American inhabitants of the colony. Set partially in New
York State, where Lennox had herself lived as a girl, it also
contains a version of a captivity narrative in the story of the
capture of Euphemia's son by Hurons. This Broadview edition
includes contemporary reviews of Euphemia and a wealth of other
contemporary materials on marriage, travel, the picturesque, and
the captivity narrative.
