Beschreibung

Eliza Buckminster Lee wrote a book titled Delusion: Or The Witch of New England in 1839. The narrative centres on the life of a young woman named Mary Schweidler and is set in early 17th-century New England. The people of Coserow suspect Mary of being a witch, and as a result, she faces persecution and torment. The real-life witch trials that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts in the late 17th century are fictionalised in the book. Mary, a courageous and strong woman who is driven to establish her innocence, tells the tale. Superstition, mob power, and religious extremism are among the issues that are explored in the book. It also emphasises the value of justice as well as the perils of prejudice and hysteria. A compelling and thought-provoking book, Delusion: Or The Witch of New England provides an intriguing look at the background of witchcraft and the American witch trials. This rare antiquarian book is a facsimile replica of the ancient original and can include some marks and annotations from the library.

Über den Autor

American poet and writer Eliza Buckminster Lee was a native of New England. She was born into a well-known and learned family in Framingham, Massachusetts. She wed the well-known politician and lawyer Joseph Warren Lee in 1810, and the two of them made Cambridge, Massachusetts, their home. Eliza Buckminster Lee was renowned for her contributions to literature, which included novels, essays, and poetry. She wrote both under her own name and the pseudonym "Gossamer," and many of the issues and sentiments of the day were captured in her writing. 1830 saw the publication of "Delusion, or The Witch of New England," one of her most well-known novels. The work tackles themes of superstition, panic, and the fallout from false accusations against the backdrop of the Salem witch trials. Despite not having the same level of recognition as some other works from the same era, "Delusion" is nonetheless a worthwhile addition to the literary analysis of historical events.
