Download or read book Memories of a Hostess written by M. A. Dewolfe Howe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of a Hostess: A Chronicle of Eminent Friendships Drawn Chiefly From the Diaries of Mrs. James T. Fields IN the years immediately before the death Of Mrs. James T. Fields, on January 5, 1915, she spoke to me more than once Of her intention to place in my posses sion a cabinet Of Old papers - journals Of her own, let ters from a host Of correspondents, Odds and ends Of manuscript and print which stood in a dark corner Of a small reception-room near the front door Of her house in Charles Street, Boston. On her death this intention was found to have been confirmed in writing. It was also made clear that Mrs. Fields had no desire that her own life should be made a subject of record unless, she wrote, for some reason not altogether connected with myself. Such a reason is abundantly suggested in her records of the friends she was con stantly seeing through the years covered by thejournals. These friends were men and women whose books have made them the friends Of the English-speaking world, and a better knowledge Of them wouldjustify any ampli fication Of the records Of their lives. In this process the figure Of their friend and hostess in Charles Street must inevitably reveal itself not as the subject Of a biog raphy, but as a central animating presence, a focus Of sympathy and understanding, which seemed to make a single phenomenon out Of a long series and wide vari ety Of friendships and hospitalities. The blue books more than fifty in number which Mrs. Fields used for the journals have already yielded many pages Of valuable record to her own books, especially James T. Fields: Biographical Notes and Personal Sketches and Authors and Friends also even, here and there, to Mr. Fields's Yesterdays with Authors Yet she left unprinted much that is both picturesque and illumi nating: so many of the persons mentioned in the jour nal were still living or had but recently died when her books were written. There are, besides, many passages used in a fragmentary way, which may now with pro priety be given complete.

Book Synopsis Twain in His Own Time by : Gary Scharnhorst
Download or read book Twain in His Own Time written by Gary Scharnhorst and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never one to suffer fools gladly, especially if they wore crinolines, Mark Twain lost as many friends as he made, and he targeted them all indiscriminately. The first major American writer born west of the Mississippi River, he enjoys a reputation unrivaled in American literary history, and from the beginning of his career he tried to control that reputation by fiercely protecting his public persona. Not a debunking account of Twain’s life but refreshingly immune from his relentless image making, Gary Scharnhorst’s Twain in His Own Time offers an anecdotal version of Twain’s life over which the master spin-doctor had virtually no control. The ninety-four recollections gathered in Twain in His Own Time form an unsanitized, collaborative biography designed to provide a multitude of perspectives on the iconic author. Opening with an interview with his mother that has never been reprinted, it includes memoirs by his daughters and by men who knew him when he was roughing it in Nevada and California, an interview with the pilot who taught him to navigate the Mississippi River, reminiscences from his illustrators E. M. Kemble and Dan Beard and two of his so-called adolescent angelfish, contributions from politicians and from such literary figures as Dan De Quille and George Bernard Shaw, and one of the most damning assessments of his character—by the author Frank Harris—ever published. Each entry is introduced by a brief explanation of its historical and cultural context; explanatory notes provide further information about people and places; and Scharnhorst’s introduction and chronology of Twain’s eventful life are comprehensive and detailed. Dozens of lively primary sources published incrementally over more than eighty years, most recorded after his death, illustrate the complexities of this flamboyant, outspoken personality in a way that no single biographer could.

Download or read book Ladies' Greek written by Yopie Prins and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ladies' Greek, Yopie Prins illuminates a culture of female classical literacy that emerged in the second half of the nineteenth century, during the formation of women's colleges on both sides of the Atlantic. Why did Victorian women of letters desire to learn ancient Greek, a "dead" language written in a strange alphabet and no longer spoken? In the words of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, they wrote "some Greek upon the margin—lady's Greek, without the accents." Yet in the margins of classical scholarship they discovered other ways of knowing, and not knowing, Greek. Mediating between professional philology and the popularization of classics, these passionate amateurs became an important medium for classical transmission. Combining archival research on the entry of women into Greek studies in Victorian England and America with a literary interest in their translations of Greek tragedy, Prins demonstrates how women turned to this genre to perform a passion for ancient Greek, full of eros and pathos. She focuses on five tragedies—Agamemnon, Prometheus Bound, Electra, Hippolytus, and The Bacchae—to analyze a wide range of translational practices by women and to explore the ongoing legacy of Ladies' Greek. Key figures in this story include Barrett Browning and Virginia Woolf, Janet Case and Jane Harrison, Edith Hamilton and Eva Palmer, and A. Mary F. Robinson and H.D. The book also features numerous illustrations, including photographs of early performances of Greek tragedy at women's colleges. The first comparative study of Anglo-American Hellenism, Ladies' Greek opens up new perspectives in transatlantic Victorian studies and the study of classical reception, translation, and gender.
Book Synopsis Stowe in Her Own Time by : Susan Belasco
Download or read book Stowe in Her Own Time written by Susan Belasco and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first celebrity authors, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896) became famous almost overnight when Uncle Tom’s Cabin—which sold more than 300,000 copies in its first year of publication—appeared in 1852. Known by virtually all famous writers in the United States and many in England and regarded by many women writers as a role model because of her influence in the literary marketplace, Stowe herself was the subject of many books, articles, essays, and poems during her lifetime. This volume brings together for the first time a range of primary materials about Stowe’s private and public life written by family members, friends, and fellow writers who knew or were influenced by her before and after Uncle Tom’s Cabin catapulted her to fame. Included are periodical articles by Fanny Fern and Charles Dudley Warner; biographical essays by Sarah Josepha Hale and Rose Terry Cooke; letters by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Harriet Jacobs; recollections by Frederick Douglass, Annie Adams Fields, Isabella Beecher Hooker, and Charles Beecher; and poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar and John Greenleaf Whittier. An introduction at the beginning of each essay connects it to its historical and cultural context, explanatory notes provide information about people and places, and the book includes a detailed introduction and a chronology of Stowe’s life. The thirty-eight recollections gathered in Stowe in Her Own Time form a biographical narrative designed to provide several perspectives on the famous author, sometimes in conflict and sometimes in agreement but always perceptive. The figure who emerges from this insightful, analytical collection is far more complex than the image she helped construct in her lifetime.
