Abstract
Abstract:Since her death on the Isle of France (Mauritius) in 1812, Harriet Newell has come to us as a martyr to the early nineteenth-century missionary movement and - more than that - as a single book: Memoirs of Mrs. Harriet Newell, published in 1814 by Samuel Armstrong of Boston. Exploring Bewell’s reading and habits of allusion, our essay explores what it would mean to read Newell as her first readers encountered her: as an engaging correspondent and chronicler of missionary work, and as a travel writer.
期刊介绍:
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
