Catherine Sedgwick's A New England Tale

Catherine Sedgwick's "New England Story" tells a story of Jane's young woman. Though she was despised, her faith in God remained strong through her trial and suffering. The sinners of Jonathan Edwards' preaching "the hand of the wrath of God" are focused on people sent to hell to lose faith, ignore the power of God's hands and confess their own sins. Through Sedgwick's novel and Edwards sermon, it is important to advance in life while being faithful, faithful, innocent but faithful to God.

Sedgwick was quickly recognized as one of the writers who created Native American literature. The subtitles of "New England Story" are "Sketch of New England Characters and Etiquette", her novel "Leslie", between Puritan and Lynn Woods, or since the 1960s. During the revolution, the novel mixed with historical events. The central character of Sedgwick 's novel is a woman and is known for being independent. In Abu Dhabi, 'the weak and suppressed natural protector' saved the girl from among the shakers. After the Revolutionary War, she decided to be single because she was "filled with an independent spirit of the times, so that I do not agree to abandon my rights."

In her work, Catherine Sedgwick showed consistent tolerance to minority members. The main character of her first novel "New England Story" (1822) is Quaker. A small part of Redwood (1824) was involved in the shaker community, and Sedgwick analyzed the psychological pressure to keep members in groups, but religion was never criticized. Likewise, Leslie (1827) is expected to show a sympathetic understanding of Native American and its religious beliefs.

Sedgwick's first publication is "New England Story". In the preface, the author begins the story as a religious belief, which informs us that it gradually grows in her hands beyond the proper limits of this work. This proved to be the fact that she gave up all the publishing design but completed the story for her own entertainment. However, when completed, her friends' opinions and requests exceeded her own enthusiastic wishes and was announced in 1822. The original intention of the book specifically emphasized the theme of the suspicious person who claimed the writer as a novel. Her negative portrait of New England's Puritans brought her some condemnation. The limited plan of the story did not give the opportunity to show the extent and diversity that appeared in some of her later works. Perhaps the main value of the New England story is its influence on the author itself.
