| Summary | "Three Heroines of New England Romance" by Harriet Prescott Spofford, Louise Imogen Guiney, and Alice Brown is a collection of historical narratives written during the late 19th century. This book explores the lives and love stories of three women from New England, combining history with elements of romance and human emotion. It likely seeks to illuminate the narratives of women who played significant roles within their communities during a time when women's stories were often overlooked in favor of their male counterparts. The book profiles three central figures: Priscilla Mullins, associated with the Pilgrims of Plymouth; Agnes Surriage, a beautiful fisher girl who captures the heart of a British collector; and Martha Hilton, who rises from humble beginnings to become Lady Wentworth. Each section tells their unique stories of love, resilience, and societal challenges, set against the backdrop of colonial New England. The narratives highlight the complexities of their relationships, their struggles, and the impact of their actions on their communities. Through richly descriptive language, the work draws readers into a vivid portrayal of the period, while offering a nostalgic lens on the aspirations and lives of women who contributed significantly to American history.
