Riassunto

Set in seventeenth-century New England, HOPE LESLIE (1827) is centred around the female friendship between Hope Leslie, a spirited thinker in a repressive Puritan society who fights for justice for the Indians, and Magawisca, the daughter of a Pequot chief. A counterpoint to the novels of James Fenimore Cooper, HOPE LESLIE is also a revolutionary portrait of early American life, one that challenges the conventional view of Indians, tackles interracial marriage and cross-cultural friendship andmakes a claim for the place of women in America's national history.
