Constance Fenimore Woolson's Nineteenth Century

"Although she is one of the lesser-known figures in American literature, Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840-1894) authored some of the most carefully crafted and realistic short stories of the post - Civil War era. Constance Fenimore Woolson's Nineteenth Century: Essays is a collection of critical essays from different theoretical perspectives that offer new insights into Woolson and reintegrate her into nineteenth-century scholarship." "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.
