Summary
"They wrote and exchanged thousands of poems and maintained elaborate handwritten commonplace books of memorabilia. Through their creativity and celebrated hospitality , they initiated a salon culture in their great country houses in the Delaware Valley .... Susan Sabile shows that these female writers sought to memorialize their lives and aesthetic experience - a purpose that stands in marked contrast to the civic concerns of male authors in the republican era."
