Autorenporträt
Mrs. Susanna Rowson, commonly known as Mrs. Rowson, was an emblematic figure in early American literature. She was born Susanna Haswell in Portsmouth, England, in 1762 and later moved to the United States where she achieved fame as a novelist, poet, playwright, and actress. Her versatility as a writer and robust engagement with social issues of her time were integral to her literary style. Rowson is best known for her 1791 novel 'Charlotte Temple,' a tale of seduction that quickly became America's first best-selling novel. The narrative of 'Charlotte Temple' explores themes of virtue, morality, and the plight of women in the 18th century, and it was regarded as a didactic work aimed at the instruction of young women on the dangers of falling prey to deceitful men. Rowson's writing is distinguished by its sentimental style, vivid characterizations, and engagement with contemporary societal norms. Her work not only reflects the early American cultural landscape but also provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by women of her era. As a pioneer among women writers in the new nation, Mrs. Rowson's contribution to American literature and culture remains noteworthy. Despite the period's norms that often relegated women to the domestic sphere, Rowson showed resilience and tenacity in her prolific career, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to be studied within the canon of early American literature.
