New England is a treasure house filled with many different types of spiritual, cultural, historical, and other resources. Included in this treasure trove is a rich mixture of literature - including writers from this region and literary works set in this region.
One such writer is Harriett E. Wilson (ca. 1828-ca. 1870), traditionally considered to be the first female African-American novelist. She is also considered to be the first African-American of any gender to publish a novel on the North American continent.
