The Widow Bedott Papers
by Frances M. Whitcher and Alice Bradley Haven
Circa 1890, Frank F. Lovell and Company
The Widow Bedott Papers is a collection of humorous stories written by Alice Bradley Haven and Frances M. Whitcher. The stories follow the trials and tribulations of their comic fool The Widow Bedot, among other characters. A humorous and satirical take on the social mores of 19th-century America that takes aim at fashion, social status, courtship, and hypocrisy. The material served as inspiration for the sensational dramatic hit "The Widow Spriggins" which launched Frances M. Whitcher to national fame.
This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is a delightful read for anyone interested in American humor and 18th-century American literature.
Pages unmarked. Very little wear to cover and spine. Some toning to pages and inside of covers. Small blemishes on back cover.
