The novel intricately intertwines themes of autonomy, class struggle, and the quest for personal identity, employing a rich, descriptive literary style that evokes the period's nuances.

Autor

Jeanie Gould Lincoln, a 19th-century American author, has not remained a prominent figure in the canon of American literature, and as such, there is little published biographical information readily available about her life and literary contributions. She was an author in an era when female writers often struggled for recognition and acceptance. Her novel 'An Unwilling Maid' serves as a piece of historical fiction, providing a glimpse into the mindset and societal norms of her time. The narrative constructs a vivid depiction of life during the American Revolution, echoing themes of duty, sacrifice, and personal agency against the brewing backdrop of war. Lincoln's prose typically would employ a focus on female perspectives, likely challenging the expected norms and yielding insight into the social roles and expected behaviors of women in her time period. Without extensive records of critical analysis or comprehensive biographies, much of Jeanie Gould Lincoln's literary style and impact must be surmised from her work itself and the broader context of the period she wrote in. However, the scant attention given to her in contemporary literature calls for a renewed examination to understand her place in the historical landscape of American female authors.
