Warren's spectacularly detailed account of the American War of
Independence remains an authoritative, much-read source on the
subject: this edition contains all three volumes, complete with
notes. First published in 1805, when memories of the Revolutionary
War were fresh in the minds of many Americans, Mercy Otis Warren's
history became a sensation for its intense detail and depth. Aiming
to give a precise, blow by blow account of the War of Independence,
Warren ventures through the major turning points of the conflict.
She takes us from the many causes of the Revolution itself, through
the principle battles, to the eventual surrender and defeat of the
British, and the establishment of the USA. Warren personally lived
through the entire conflict, and was good friends with several of
the men who were to become the Founding Fathers of the United
States. Her connections, assertive nature and prominent place in
the nascent colonial society allowed Warren to publish a number of
works which were popular.
This is the first major collection of letters by the
Revolutionary-era woman writer. This volume gathers more than one
hundred letters - most of them previously unpublished - written by
Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814). Warren, whose works include a
three-volume history of the American Revolution as well as plays
and poems, was a major literary figure of her era and one of the
most important American women writers of the eighteenth century.
Her correspondents included Martha and George Washington, Abigail
and John Adams, and Catharine Macaulay.Until now, Warren's letters
have been published sporadically, in small numbers, and mainly to
help complete the collected correspondence of some of the famous
men to whom she wrote. This volume addresses that imbalance by
focusing on Warren's letters to her family members and other women.
As they flesh out our view of Warren and correct some
misconceptions about her, the letters offer a wealth of insights
into eighteenth-century American culture, including social customs,
women's concerns, political and economic conditions, medical
issues, and attitudes on child rearing.This title features letters
that Warren sent to other women who had lost family members (Warren
herself lost three children) reveal her sympathies; and, letters to
a favorite son, Winslow, that show her sharing her ambitions with a
child who resisted her advice. What readers of other Warren letters
may have only sensed about her is now revealed more fully: she was
a woman of considerable intellect, religious faith, compassion,
literary intelligence, and acute sensitivity to the historical
moment of even everyday events in the new American republic.
