The Minister's Wooing
''The Minister's Wooing'' is a historical novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, first published in 1859. Set in 18th-century Newport, Rhode Island, the novel explores New England history, highlights the issue of slavery, and critiques the Calvinist theology in which Stowe was raised. Due to similarities in setting, comparisons are often drawn between this work and Nathaniel Hawthorne's ''The Scarlet Letter'' (1850). However, in contrast to Hawthorne's ''The Scarlett Letter'', ''The Minister's Wooing'' is a " sentimental romance"; its central plot revolves around courtship and marriage. Moreover, Stowe's exploration of the regional history of New England deals primarily with the domestic sphere, the New England response to slavery, and the psychological impact of the Calvinist doctrines of predestination and disinterested benevolence. With its intense focus upon the history, customs, and mannerisms of New England, ''The Minister's Wooing'' is one sense an example of the local color ...
