In The Birthmark, Susan Howe claims this individual's "apprehension of nature is an endless ambiguous enclosure." At the end of the work in which she appears, she is taken to the home of slave-dealer James Whitcomb after marking out five strange incidents of Providence, one of which involves burned corn. Figures she encounters include a kind mistress for whose child she embroiders a blanket as well as a cruel soldier who claims to have roasted and eaten her husband. The work featuring her begins with the (*) burning of her Lancaster home, is divided into twenty-one "removes," and was originally entitled The Sovereignty and Goodness of God, featuring an introduction by Increase Mather. For 10 points, name this woman abducted during King Phillip's War, who wrote the most popular captivity narrative.
