The Minister's Wooing by Harriet Beecher Stowe. First published in 1859, and set in 18th-century Newport, Rhode Island, THE MINISTER'S WOOING is an historical novel and a domestic comedy. Mary Scudder lives with her widowed mother and their boarder, Dr Hopkins, a Calvinist minister who is dedicated to helping the slaves arriving at Newport.

The novel offers a critique of Calvinism, and examines the issues of slavery and gender in early America.
