Produktbeschreibung

"Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" is a memoir written by Mary Rowlandson, a colonial American woman who was captured by Native Americans during King Philip's War in 1675. It's the story of her eleven-week captivity, during which she was separated from her family and endured numerous hardships, including hunger, exposure, and physical abuse. Rowlandson thinks back on her religious beliefs and how they kept her going when she was being held captive. She also offers an insight into the culture and way of life of the Native Americans who imprisoned her. Rowlandson's narrative has also been critiqued for its depiction of Native Americans as savages and for its limited perspective on the experiences of other captives during King Philip's War. Nevertheless, "Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" remains a valuable historical document that provides insight into the experiences of a colonial woman and her encounters with Native American culture.
