Abstract
Abstract:
Using archival and genealogical sources, this study corrects the long-standing misattribution of the American novels Monima; or, The Beggar Girl (1802) and Margaretta; or, The Intricacies of the Heart (1807) to Martha Meredith Read. Their true author, Mary Endress Ralston (1772–1850), is introduced as a bilingual Pennsylvania German Lutheran literary pioneer.
摘要:本研究利用档案和家谱资料，纠正了长期以来将美国小说《Monima; or, The Beggar Girl》（1802 年）和《Margaretta; or, The Intricacies of the Heart》（1807 年）误认为是 Martha Meredith Read 所著的错误说法。这两部作品的真正作者玛丽-恩德蕾丝-拉尔斯顿（Mary Endress Ralston，1772-1850 年）是宾夕法尼亚州德国路德教派的双语文学先驱。
