About this eBook

Author Rowson, Mrs., 1762-1824
Title Charlotte Temple
Credits Produced by Judith Boss and David Widger
Summary "Charlotte Temple" by Susanna Haswell Rowson is a novel written during the late 18th century. The story explores the harrowing journey of a young woman named Charlotte Temple as she navigates the perils of love, duty, and societal expectations in a world that often punishes those who stray from the prescribed path of virtue. The novel begins with Charlotte at a boarding school and introduces several male characters, including Montraville, a soldier who becomes enchanted with her beauty. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Charlotte Temple, a beautiful and innocent girl, who unknowingly attracts the attention of Montraville, a young officer. The events unfold in the quiet town of Chichester, where Charlotte is part of Madame Du Pont's boarding school. As Montraville and his friend Belcour explore the town after attending church, they encounter Charlotte, which sparks Montraville's interest in her. Meanwhile, Charlotte is marked for a life filled with romantic intrigue and challenges, opening the door to questions about her future fidelity, parental duty, and the stakes of romance—setting the stage for the tragic events that are to follow in her life.
