The poem is a commentary on the fashionable trend of young women adopting Native American-inspired dress and hairstyles, which were commonly referred to as ""Mohawks"" at the time.Through witty and biting verse, Lady Morgan skewers the superficiality and cultural appropriation inherent in this trend, while also critiquing the broader societal norms that allowed it to flourish. She takes aim at the privileged and frivolous lifestyles of the upper classes, as well as the ways in which women were expected to conform to narrow standards of beauty and behavior.The Mohawks is a significant work of satire and social commentary from a prominent female writer of the Romantic era. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural attitudes and trends of the time, while also providing a timeless critique of the dangers of superficiality and conformity.When earth was young, e'er by a curious wife Tempted--seduc'd, unhappy Adam fell, (In our times, when the dev'l would breed a strife, He finds our neighbour's spouse a surer spell) .This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
