Written in epistolary form and drawn from actual events, Brown'sThe Power of Sympathy(1789) and Foster'sThe Coquette(1797) were two of the earliest novels published in the United States. Both novels reflect the eighteenth-century preoccupation with the role of women as safekeepers of the young country's morality.
