In 1791 in London, as 'Mrs. Rowson', she published the novel for which she is best known, Charlotte: A Tale of Truth, later reissued in America as Charlotte Temple, where it became the new nation's first best-selling novel.[4] This popular story of seduction and remorse has gone through more than 200 editions.[5] The novel sparked much controversy, both over its content and whether it could actually be considered a novel due to its minimal number of pages. A cenotaph was later erected for Susanna Haswell Rowson and her brothers Robert and John Montresor Haswell at Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood, where she is memorialized as the author of Charlotte Temple. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1167.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1167.txt
