Catharine Maria Sedgwick Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Catherine Maria Sedgwick bola vplyvnou americkou spisovateľkou, ktorá sa vo svojich dielach často zameriavala na témy náboženskej tolerancie a spoločenskej morálky. Jej próza, charakterizovaná realistickým zobrazením života v Novej Anglii a prenikavým psychologickým vhľadom, si získala značnú obľubu. Sedgwicková sa preslávila svojimi románmi a poviedkami, ktoré skúmali zložité vzťahy a morálne dilemy svojich postáv. Jej literárny odkaz, ocenený najmä feministickým hnutím v neskoršom 20. storočí, dnes znovu objavuje jej jedinečný prínos k americkej literatúre.
