Vaccaro, Kristianne Kalata
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "The Female American" by Unca Eliza Winkfield, a pseudonym, is presented. The autobiographical and anonymous novel is discussed for its portrayal of the social, religious, and political aspects of colonial America. The relationship between the text and the audience is explored as a parallel for the relationship between performer and audience in interpersonal communications. The American Indian and British ethnicity of the protagonist is also examined.
