Sukey Vickerys Emily Hamilton is an epistolary novel dealing with the courtship and marriages of three women. Originally published in 1803, it is one of the earliest examples of realist fiction in America and a departure from other novels at the turn of the nineteenth century. From the outset its author intended it as a realist project, never delving into the overly sentimental plotting or characterization present in much of the writing of Vickerys contemporaries. Emily Hamilton explores from a decidedly feminine perspective the idea of a womans right to choose her own spouse and the importance of female friendship. Vickerys characterization of women further diverges from the typical eighteenth and early nineteenthcentury didactic of the righteous/sinful woman and depicts, instead, believable female characters exhibiting truetolife behavior.A presentation of this novel accompanied by Vickerys poetry, letters, a diary fragment, and a few nineteenthcentury responses to her work, Emily Hamilton and Other Writings is the first complete collection of Vickerys writings.
