Little Eve Edgarton

Little Eve Edgarton was originally published in 1914 by The Century Co. as a quintessential example of the sentimental, socially conscious fiction popular in the early twentieth century. Written by Eleanor Hallowell Abbott, a prolific author known for her whimsical and emotionally resonant storytelling, the novel follows the unconventional daughter of a scientist as she navigates the rigid expectations of high society. It captured a moment in American literature where the 'new woman' archetype began to challenge Victorian domestic tropes, blending humor with a focus on character development that earned Abbott a dedicated readership during the era.
