Synopsis

"Clarence; or, A Tale of Our Own Times" is a 1830 novel of manners by Catharine Maria Sedgwick. Set in New York City, the narrative follows the travails of a young heiress called Gertrude Clarence arriving on the city's marriage market. The novel provides a rich and authentic insight into American domestic life, full of ingenuity and vibrancy. Catharine Maria Sedgwick (1789 - 1867) was an American novelist and prominent supporter of Republican motherhood whose work is frequently referred to as "domestic fiction". Other notable works by this author include: "Hope Leslie" (1827), "The Linwoods" (1835), "Live and Let Live" (1837). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
