Susanna Rowson: Sentimental Prophet of Early American Literature opens the early American writers works to new, provocative interpretations based on the theory that her responses to social issues incorporate notions of righteousness, justice, accountability, and loyalty drawn from prophets in the Hebrew Bible. Steven Epley argues that Rowsons sentimentalisma literary mode that portrays characters undergoing strong emotions and evokes similar responses from readersreflects the rhetorical style of the Bibles first prophet, Moses, and its understanding of the heart not just as a metaphor for human kindness and tenderness but also as a source of wickedness. Epley relocates the widespread introduction of Jewish values into American discourse from the height of Jewish immigration (roughly 1890 to 1940) to the early republic, given Rowsons vast audience and influence on American letters. Her novel Charlotte Temple outsold every other American work of fiction until Harriet Beecher Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin in the 1850s.
