The Coquette is a novel written by Hannah Webster Foster, based on a true story. The book tells the story of Eliza Wharton, a beautiful and charming young woman who is courted by two men: the respectable Reverend Boyer and the rakish Major Sanford. Eliza enjoys the attention of both men, but ultimately chooses to pursue a relationship with Major Sanford, despite his reputation as a womanizer. As their relationship progresses, Eliza becomes pregnant and Sanford abandons her. The novel follows Eliza's struggles as a single mother in a society that shames and ostracizes unwed mothers. The Coquette is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of gender roles, social norms, and the consequences of making choices that go against societal expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
