About

Originally published in London in 1791, Susanna Rowson (1762-1824)’s tragic novel Charlotte Temple became one of the most popular books in the early United States. The Library of Congress’ Charlotte Temple collection reflects the enduring popularity of the book and the deep emotional connection that generations of readers felt to this story of a young English girl seduced and abandoned by a British soldier during the American Revolution.
