Desired and envied, Peggy Shippen and Ann Coleman were young women blamed for highly irregular behavior by famous men, Benedict Arnold and James Buchanan. The possibly banal or even complex realities of their lives are typically reduced to the melodramatic conventions of sentimental fiction. We will work in a number of registers: the historical (What happened ), the collision of historiography and genre (How are sentiment and sympathy used to imagine the lives of young women ) and the narratological (How do various narrative strategies tell truth, inspire action, or otherwise support particular ideological positions ).
