Colonial Dames and Good Wives

1895. Earle's historical research and writing emphasized the homely details of everyday life-manners, customs, handicrafts-rather than the world of politics and affairs, and her popular exposition of her findings helped spark a renewal of public interest in the American past. Contents: Consorts and Relicts; Women of Affairs; Double-Tongued and Naughty Women; Boston Neighbors; A Fearful Female Traveler; Two Colonial Adventuresses; The Universal Friend; Eighteenth-Century Manners; Their Amusements and Accomplishments; Daughters of Liberty; A Revolutionary Housewife; and Fireside Industries.
