Description

Book Synopsis
Following in the path of her distinguished Puritan forebears, Hannah Mather Crocker used her skills as a writer primarily to persuade. Unlike those forebears, however, she did not begin her career as a published writer until well into middle age. The works collected here include previously unpublished poetry, drama, memoirs, sermons, and essays on American identity, education, and history.
