With an Introduction by Jane Smiley
First published in America in 1794, Charlotte Temple took the country by storm—in fact, it was this nation’s first bona fide “bestseller.” Susanna Rowson’s most famous work is the story of an innocent British schoolgirl who takes the advice of her depraved French teacher— with tragic consequences. Seduced by the dashing Lieutenant Montraville, who persuades her to move to America with him, the fifteen-year-old Charlotte leaves her adoring parents and makes the treacherous sea voyage to New York. In the land of opportunity, Charlotte is callously abandoned by Montraville. Alone and pregnant with an illegitimate child, she valiantly fights to stave off poverty and ruin.
This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the text of the first American edition.

不好打分,敘事簡明,然意識形態捉急,讀著讀著都是梗。美國人和法國人都被R桑黑齣翔瞭

评分就現代眼光來看這本書,內容確實過時,人物刻闆且平麵,情節庸俗,甚至還有narrator在喋喋不休地說教。但從曆史發展角度來評價,它確實有暢銷的理由。劇情簡單易懂,人物性格直白地告知,感傷之處不吝惜墨水,價值觀積極陽光且片麵,可以說閱讀門檻極低。
