 A.I.S.N.A   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In her 1797 epistolary novel The Coquette, Hannah Foster situates her critical analysis of female freedom and the politics of courtship and marriage within the restrictive confines of a conventional seduction novel.
While the former is connected to the young Republic's preoccupation with origins, the latter is linked to the "fear that political liberty would be associated with sexual license" and to the relation between good citizenship and female virtue in the rhetoric of the new state.
Even those critics who perceive The Coquette and Eliza to be, respectively, the "most memorable seduction story in eighteenth-century American fiction," 31 and "the only convincing heroine in the sentimental novel," 32 have a hard time reconciling the highly complex and ambiguous portrayal of Eliza's quest with her conventional death.

Eliza is a coquette, but she is also an intelligent, spirited young woman unwilling to bury herself in a conventional marriage with a man (the Rev. Boyer) whom she finds agreeable but immensely dull.
Her claim that The Coquette was “founded on fact” was not merely a nod to the convention employed by early novelists to justify lurid or sensational works.
Reporters and preachers cited Whitman’s story as “a good moral lecture to young ladies.” Foster’s contemporaries had no difficulty identifying the real-life counterparts of the “coquette” and her ministerial associates, though the identity of her seducer remains subject to dispute.

 Hannah Webster Foster (1758-1840)
While voicing opposition to the novel in general, Foster and other novelists characterized the reading of their own works, which were "founded on fact," as warnings, to keep young women from peril.
A very effective way of handling student inquiries as to who read The Coquette is to read to the class a passage from Elias Nason's biography of Susanna Rowson.
Novels that invite comparison and contrast with The Coquette are William Hill Brown's The Power of Sympathy (1789) and Susanna Rowson's Charlotte Temple (1794), with which it competed for favor through the early decades of the nineteenth century.

 What type of Seducer are you?
Coquettes are the grand masters of the game, orchestrating a back-and-forth movement between hope and frustration.
They bait with the promise of reward - the hope of physical pleasure, happiness, fame by association, power - all of which, however, proves elusive; yet this only makes their targets pursue them more.
Imitate the alternating heat and coolness of the Coquette and you will keep the seduced at your heels.

 Transatlantic 1790s Annotation Workspace
Gillian Brown examines Hannah Webster Foster’s critique of coquetry in The Coquette, viewing coquetry as a “critique and an appropriation of consent” (627).
Brown devotes pages to Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s depiction of the coquette, his denial of the existence of rape, and view that woman, created to serve man, is by nature sexually consenting.
Blame is thus placed on the coquette, her seducer, and the practice of coquetry itself.

For my first trick, I plan to use Hannah Foster's The Coquette as the basis for a Reader-response critical analysis.
However, in lieu of a traditional academic paper, I will be composing a series of letters between a brother and sister to demonstrate how eighteenth century readers would have responded to a story such as that of The Coquette.
Considering that Foster's story was one of the most popular American novels ever, it must have struck something particular in its readers that made them read it themselves and recommend it to their friends.

 Amazon.com: The Coquette (Oxford Paperback Reference): Books: Hannah W. Foster,Cathy N. Davidson   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Hannah Foster's 1797 novel, "The Coquette," seems, at first glance, like an early American ripoff of such famous 18th century British novels like Samuel Richardson's "Pamela" or "Clarissa," and indeed it contains references and allusions to both, and to a wealth of other 18th century British fiction.
In its historical context, though, "The Coquette" acquires added significance and cultural depth, as a response to the guiding philsophies and political stances of the new American nation.
The main character, your title coquette, if you will, Eliza Wharton, rejoices in her freedom from the structure of her family's controls.
