Caroline Kirkland's A New Home: Who'll Follow? is considered to be a very unique novel in the nineteenth-century American fiction. Its uniqueness originates from the fact that it is a frontier fiction written by a female writer and from its being an accurate description of the western-frontier life. Before, there had been only novels or travel narratives written by male writers who described western wilderness as a romantic place to be conquered and developed by heroic and adventurous male characters. However, in A New Home, Kirkland introduces a real life in the Michigan frontier society, written from a female perspective, which reveals that those male narratives were unrealistic and omitted a lot that were necessary parts of the western life.
Meanwhile, this novel has been criticized by some critics because the narrator Mrs. Clavers who is the persona of the author seems to make fun of her crude neighbors' manner of life by the measure of the eastern genteel standards. And those eastern genteel standards are based on the idea of “The Cult of True Womanhood” of the mid-nineteenth century, which insists that women should fulfill the four virtues of “piety, purity, submission, and domesticity.”
Even though I think that those critics' argument is reasonable, I find that Kirkland tries to overcome such class-oriented limitations as her appreciation of the western life improves with the increasing years of her residence in the frontier society. Therefore, in this paper I attempt to elucidate how unique this novel is, by closely analyzing the distinction between the male frontier stories and that of Kirkland's. Then, I try to find the achievements and limitations of this work by examining whether the narrator succeeds in surmounting the eastern white-female genteel consciousness.
