The Letters of Elizabeth Whitman to Joel and Ruth Barlow, 1779-1783

This article presents and analyzes the correspondence Elizabeth Whitman wrote to Joel and Ruth Barlow between 1779 and 1783. The letters provide valuable insights into the intellectual, emotional, and social life of an educated woman during the American Revolutionary era. They discuss friendship, family, literature, religion, education, and the political climate of the newly emerging United States. The correspondence also illustrates the importance of letter writing as a means of maintaining personal relationships and participating in the cultural and intellectual networks of early America. As historical documents, the letters deepen our understanding of women's experiences and the social world of the late eighteenth century.
