By Frances M. Whitcher and Alice Bradley Haven

Book Overview

The Widow Bedott Papers is a collection of humorous sketches and satirical essays written by Frances M. Whitcher. The book is a fictional account of the life of a widow named Bedott, who is portrayed as a simple-minded, gullible, and eccentric character. The stories revolve around her interactions with the people in her small New England town, as well as her attempts to navigate the social norms and expectations of the time. Through Bedott's misadventures, Whitcher pokes fun at the hypocrisy and absurdity of 19th-century American society. The book is written in a light and entertaining style, with witty dialogue and clever observations. Overall, The Widow Bedott Papers is a charming and humorous window into the world of 19th-century rural America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
