Description - Clarence by Catharine Maria Sedgwick
In Catharine Maria Sedgwick’s third novel, heiress Gertrude Clarence negotiates the marriage market in New York City. Innovative in its incorporation of British and Caribbean elements alongside the American storyline, Clarence demonstrates Sedgwick’s importance as a nineteenth-century novelist. Unlike her historical novels, Clarence is set in the New York City of Sedgwick’s own day, and in this novel she proves herself to be an astute observer and critic of the social world of the young nation’s most cosmopolitan city. Appendices include selections from Sedgwick’s letters and journals, literary representations of the West Indies, and early reviews of the novel.
