The Coquette; Or The History Of Eliza Wharton: A Novel Founded On Fact (1855) is a novel written by Jane E. Locke. It tells the story of Eliza Wharton, a young woman who is courted by two men, Reverend Boyer and Major Sanford. Eliza is torn between her desire for independence and her desire for love, and she ultimately makes a decision that leads to tragic consequences. The novel is based on the true story of Elizabeth Whitman, a woman from Connecticut who died in 1788 after giving birth to an illegitimate child. The Coquette is considered a classic of early American literature and is notable for its portrayal of gender roles and societal expectations during the late 18th century. Locke's writing style is characterized by its realism and attention to detail, and she uses letters and diary entries to tell the story from multiple perspectives. The Coquette is a thought-provoking and emotional novel that explores themes of love, morality, and the consequences of societal pressure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
