Susanna Rowson’S Transatlantic Career, Melissa J. Homestead, Camryn Hansen
Faculty Publications -- Department of English
The contention that Charlotte is best understood as part of Rowson’s career, a career that spanned a period of years and the Atlantic Ocean, is central to our analysis and to the recovery of Rowson’s authorial agency.
