Anonymous - "The Female American; or, The Adventures of Unca Eliza Winkfield" - 1767
The text raises questions and confronts anxieties surrounding miscegenation, but here tackles the dynamic of indigeneity and its relevance to the project of empire. It perhaps becomes a bridging work between the then-dominant canon of the British Empire and the soon-emergent US literary scene.
