Mercy Otis Warren was a descendant of Mayflower Pilgrims, a witness to the American Revolution, a participant in the debates that gave shape to the new nation. She was a patriot and a passionate believer in democracy. She was the mother of five sons, an equal partner in a marriage of 54 years, a loyal and demanding friend. But given the perspective of time, writes Jeffrey Richards in this exhaustive study of her life and complete work, she was above all a writer, one of the most important of her generation. Both political activist and historian, Warren sought through her writing to influence the course of events in her own time and to record them for posterity. Among the first playwrights - and perhaps the first woman playwright - in America, Warren used her plays as a public forum for unabashed promotion of the Revolutionary cause. In such dramas as The Adulateur, The Defeat, and The Group, she skewered Loyalists to the British crown and elevated the self-sacrificing patriot. Not only in her essays and her formidable History of the Rise, Progress and Termination of the American Revolution but even in personal letters did Warren express herself as a historian. Her consistently serious and responsible tone suggests the image of Warren as "Republican Mother", caretaker of the new republic, writing not just to husband or friend or son but to future generations of Americans. Basing his analysis on extensive archival research, Richards corrects many errors of fact in previous Warren scholarship, particularly in her biography and in the attribution of several plays to her authorship. These new findings make this volume valuable to the experienced scholar, while the broad coverage of Warren'swork and the provision of literary and historical context make it accessible to students.

Hardback, [PU: Cengage Gale], Mercy Otis Warren witnessed the American Revolution and participated in the debates that gave shape to the new nation. Although she was married and raised five sons, she was viewed one of the most important American writers of the time. Through her letters, poems, political essays, satiric plays, and a three volume history of the revolution, Warren placed herself among the handful of educated women whose discourse on the philosophical and political questions of the day was solicited by the men who dominated public life. A partial list of her correspondents includes: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and John and Abigail Adams. This is a study of her life and work., Literary Studies: C 1800 To C 1900<
