	Sedgwick, Catharine Maria Criticism and Essays
		Sedgwick's first novel, A New-England Tale was published in 1822, and she is numbered among a group of nineteenth-century writers who helped found a uniquely American body of literature.
		Sedgwick wrote both fiction and nonfiction and there is a didactic tone in all her work that stresses the need for religious and racial tolerance, as well as social and political reform.
		Sedgwick's works were considered innovative during her own time because she was one of the first American writers to use local scenery, customs, and characters.

	Fiction: Catherine Maria Sedgwick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Catharine Maria Sedgwick (1789-1867), once one of America's most popular authors along with her contemporaries Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper, was born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where she lived most of her life.
		Sedgwick's conversion from Calvinism to Unitarianism in 1821 led her to write a pamphlet against religious intolerance, which developed into her first novel, A New-England Tale; or, Sketches of New-England Character and Manners, published anonymously in 1822.
		Sedgwick's fame as a novelist guaranteed her access to periodicals as a story writer, and she published short fiction voluminously from the 1820s to the 1850s, including a sketch in the first volume of the first American gift book, The Atlantic Souvenir and New Year's Offering for 1826.

	Cooper and Sedgwick
		Sedgwick was generally classed with Cooper, Irving, and Bryant as one of the founders of a uniquely American literature, although her gender did intrude to some degree, so that she was often referred to as the first American "authoress"--both in chronology and in esteem--usually with all of the cultural engenderment that accompanies such terminology.
		In spite of the favor in which Sedgwick's work was held in the second quarter of the century, her fame was to begin a steady decline after the mid-1800s.
		Rather than speak of Sedgwick's loss of reputation and influence as a decline, I think it more apt to describe it in terms of a centrifugal force which dislodged her from the center of early nineteenth century fiction and sent her spinning outward toward the margins where she drifts today.
