Description & Details

The third volume of ELIZABETH OAKES SMITH: SELECTED WRITINGS offers readers selections from several of her longer works written between 1842 and the late 1880s: THE WESTERN CAPTIVE (1842), one of the first "paperback" novels sold in the United States; BERTHA AND LILY (1854), a novel featuring one of the first "fallen" heroines in the sentimental tradition; THE NEWSBOY, Oakes Smith's second novel of 1854 and her deepest foray into the lives of the working poor; “The Queen of Tramps” (1874-1888), a complete novel left in manuscript at the time of her death; and OLD NEW YORK (1853), a historical melodrama bringing a female lead character to the center of late-seventeenth century colonial rebellion in New York City.
