Item description from seller

Gould and Lincoln; Boston, 1853. Hardcover. This compelling nineteenth century narrative recounts the widely publicized case of Hannah Corcoran, a young woman whose conversion from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism led to her dramatic abduction from Charlestown and subsequent confinement by those seeking to reverse her change of faith. The account presents her personal testimony, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, and the public outcry that followed, offering insight into the intense religious tensions and sectarian anxieties that shaped American society during the period. Through its blend of personal narrative, investigative detail, and moral commentary, the book serves as both a historical document and a reflection of the era?s debates over religious liberty, personal autonomy, and denominational conflict. Collectors of religious history, American social movements, or nineteenth century controversy narratives will find this work especially significant.
