    036 - Vol II Chapter 14
    Feb 9 2026
    Evelyn is a captivating two-volume novel presented in an epistolary format, weaving together letters from a trusted, unmarried friend of the young, naive heroine and those of a charming yet irresponsible adventurer intent on seducing the beautiful Evelyn. Written by the talented actress, novelist, and playwright Anna Cora Mowatt, this narrative draws inspiration from the works of early feminist author Fredericka Bremer, often referred to as the Swedish Jane Austen. While Mowatts acclaimed comedy Fashion explores the comedic trials of a nouveau riche family navigating New York society in the late 1830s, Evelyn takes a darker turn, blending tragedy with sharp social satire and providing a vivid portrayal of everyday life in early 19th-century New York. - Summary by Kelly S.
