Inspired in part by the author's experiences in America-she was brought there by her father, a Royal Navy officer, and place under house arrest during the American Revolution-\u003ci\u003eLucy Temple\u003c\/i\u003e, the sequel to her bestselling novel \u003ci\u003eCharlotte Temple\u003c\/i\u003e, fits squarely into the popular genre of the seduction novel. Alongside such works as Hannah Webster Foster's \u003ci\u003eThe Coquette\u003c\/i\u003e (1797), Rowson's novel continues to inform scholars on the historical portrayal of women's sexuality in English and American literature. \"Such an assemblage of youth and innocence naturally attracted the young soldiers: they stopped; and, as the little cavalcade passed, almost involuntarily pulled off their hats. A tall, elegant girl looked at Montraville and blushed: he instantly recollected the features of Charlotte Temple, whom he had once seen and danced with at a ball at Portsmouth.\" From this brief chance encounter, so much suffering ensues. Not long after meeting her on the street, Lieutenant John Montraville seduces young Charlotte and convinces her to leave her family and friends behind to join him in the new world. There, spurred on by rumors of infidelity and harboring his own sinister motives, he soon abandons his innocent wife, leaving her alone in a country where nobody knows her name. Although her father reaches her in time to see her once more, she soon succumbs to illness and poverty, leaving a young daughter behind. \u003ci\u003eLucy Temple\u003c\/i\u003e is a tragic story of romance and morality from a leading writer and educator of her time.
