Hi everyone! At long last, the first episode on Catharine Maria Sedgwick's 'Hope Leslie, Or, Early Times in the Massachusetts. This week, Alex and I are joined by Grace to break down the whodunit? of Sedgwick's erasure from the American literary canon, the incredible amount of still-relevant social isssues she includes in her novel, as well as a look at some of the limitations of 19th century humanitarian liberalism. Thanks for the support.
