Secret Histories
The eighteen essays in this volume explore Constance Fenimore Woolson's prodigious range of place, from the Great Lakes to the defeated South and across storied Europe to the Mediterranean. Her achievements come alive in this enlightening collection, shedding light on the full scope of her professional writing career. The first section, "A Writer's Experiments," reveals that Woolson's play with familiar genres and unfamiliar characters began during the 1870s and extended until she died in 1894. Consistently, she tested the limits of representing women's labor and their erotic desires. The second section, "Postbellum Souths," follows Woolson's travels through a land ravaged by war and injusti...
Leaving Freedom
Freedom, Massachusetts: by 1973, thirty-year-old Connie Lewis sees only irony in the name. She's ready to leave her hometown and move with her recently widowed mother to Florida, freed of financial worry to write the novel that's been languishing in her imagination. The novel's title--Secrets--turns out to be as ironic as the name of her hometown. Her mother, her sister, and the man she befriends in Florida all keep secrets. In a nine-year journey that will take her from Massachusetts to Florida to Oregon, Connie discovers ways to make peace with what she has learned and to decide what place she should call home.
The Oxford Handbook of American Literary Realism
The Oxford Handbook of American Literary Realism offers fresh interpretations of the artistic and political challenges of representing life accurately. It is the first book to treat the subject topically and thematically, in wide scope, with essays that draw upon recent scholarship in literary and cultural studies to offer an authoritative and in-depth reassessment of major and minor figures and the contexts that shaped their work.
Constance Fenimore Woolson's Nineteenth Century
"These essays explore topics crucial to understanding the period's literature and suggest new directions for scholarship. Together they constitute a collection that expands the available body of criticism about Woolson and her contemporaries. This book is indispensable reading for anyone interested in nineteenth-century women's fiction and travel writing."--Jacket.
The Wicked Bible
After a winter when she solved the cold case of a high school friend found dead in The Barn, Deborah Strong needs a distraction. She joins a conference entitled "Libraries: Where Have We Been, Where Are We Going?" that will be useful for her work as a librarian in the small town of Shelby. The setting at a picturesque college in New Hampshire should also be healing. Deborah's project for the week plunges her into a mystery that would delight most researchers. What are the connections between a New Testament dubbed "The Wicked Bible," a woman called "The Wickedest Woman in New York," a book written by Abigail Brewster, and a letter penned to this nineteenth-century author? As she slowly unravels the connections, Deborah confronts an event from her own past and anticipates a future that could be as brilliant as New Hampshire's September foliage. The second in the Deborah Strong series cleverly connects to the research Deborah's friend Susan Warner discovered about Abigail Brewster in Dean's Death of the Keynote Speaker.
