Book excerpt: In Marietta Holley's 'The Lament of the Mormon Wife: A Poem', the reader is transported into the world of Mormon polygamy through the poetic and poignant verses that explore themes of love, loss, and the constraints placed on women in the 19th century. Holley's literary style combines humor with dark undertones, creating a compelling narrative that sheds light on the harsh realities faced by Mormon wives.

Book Synopsis Suffrage and Women's Writing by : June Hannam
Download or read book Suffrage and Women's Writing written by June Hannam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines different types of women’s creative writing in support of the demand for the parliamentary vote, including autobiographies, memoirs, letters, diaries, novels, and drama. The women’s suffrage movement became far more visible in the Edwardian period. Large demonstrations and militant actions such as destruction of property were widely reported in the press and reached a wide audience. Eager to get their message across, suffrage campaigners not only took collective action but also used women’s creative talents—whether as artists, musicians, or writers—to win hearts and minds for the cause. Through a close reading of contemporary texts, the chapters in this book reveal the diverse nature of the suffrage movement and its ideas, and the complex relationship between the personal and the political. The contributors also highlight the significance of women’s writing as a means to advance the suffrage cause and as a key element of suffrage propaganda. This book was originally published as a special issue of Women’s Writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turning next to literary case studies powerfully revealing of this contact, Camfield in part II pairs male and female humorists - Washington Irving and Fanny Fern; Harriet Beecher Stowe and Herman Melville; Mark Twain and Marietta Holley; and George Washington Harris and Mary Wilkins Freeman - not only to demonstrate the way these influential writers approach domesticity with genial humor, but also to support his claim that gender difference does not always correlate to differences in viewpoint and practice within this common style.
Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of American Humorists by : Steven H. Gale
Download or read book Encyclopedia of American Humorists written by Steven H. Gale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 1324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1988, this book contains entries on famous American Humorists. Humor has been present in American literature, from the beginning, and has developed characteristics that reflect the American character, both regional and national. Although American literature was, in the past, treated as inferior to British literature, there has always been a large popular audience for the genre, which this book shows. The figures with entries in this encyclopedia not only amuse in their writing, but also aim to enlighten- setting out to expose the foibles and foolishness of society and the individuals who compose it. It is the manner in which these authors try to accomplish this end that determines whether they appear in the volume. Indeed, the book will demonstrate that the best humor has at its base, a ready understanding of human nature.

Book Synopsis Relations of Rescue : The Search for Female Moral Authority in the American West, 1874-1939 by : Peggy Pascoe Associate Professor of History University of Utah
Download or read book Relations of Rescue : The Search for Female Moral Authority in the American West, 1874-1939 written by Peggy Pascoe Associate Professor of History University of Utah and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1990-03-29 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of late nineteeth-century moral reform, Peggy Pascoe examines four specific cases--a home for Chinese prostitutes in San Francisco, California; a home for polygamous Mormon women in Salt Lake City, Utah; a home for unmarried mothers in Denver, Colorado; and a program for American Indians on the Omaha Reservation in Nebraska--to tell the story of the women who established missionary rescue homes for women in the American West. Focusing on two sets of relationships--those between women reformers and their male opponents, and those between women reformers and the various groups of women they sought to shelter--Pascoe traces the gender relations that framed the reformers' search for female moral authority, analyzes the interaction between women reformers and the women who entered the rescue homes, and raises provocative questions about historians' understanding of the dynamics of social feminism, social control, and intercultural relations.
Book Synopsis Americanist Approaches to The Book of Mormon by : Elizabeth Fenton
Download or read book Americanist Approaches to The Book of Mormon written by Elizabeth Fenton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-18 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the sacred text of a modern religious movement of global reach, The Book of Mormon has undeniable historical significance. That significance, this volume shows, is inextricable from the intricacy of its literary form and the audacity of its historical vision. This landmark collection brings together a diverse range of scholars in American literary studies and related fields to definitively establish The Book of Mormon as an indispensable object of Americanist inquiry not least because it is, among other things, a form of Americanist inquiry in its own right--a creative, critical reading of "America." Drawing on formalist criticism, literary and cultural theory, book history, religious studies, and even anthropological field work, Americanist Approaches to The Book of Mormon captures as never before the full dimensions and resonances of this "American Bible."

Book Synopsis The Columbia Sourcebook of Mormons in the United States by : Terryl L. Givens
Download or read book The Columbia Sourcebook of Mormons in the United States written by Terryl L. Givens and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology provides rare access to key original documents illuminating Mormon history, theology, and culture in the United States from the nineteenth century to today. Brief introductions describe the theological significance of each text and its reflection of the practices, issues, and challenges that have defined and continue to define the Mormon community. These documents balance mainstream and peripheral thought and religious experience, institutional and personal perspective, and theoretical and practical interpretation, representing pivotal moments in LDS history and correcting decades of misinformation and stereotype. The authors of these documents, male and female, not only celebrate but speak critically and question mainline LDS teachings on sexuality, politics, gender, race, polygamy, and other issues. Selections largely focus on the Salt LakeÐbased LDS tradition, with a section on the postÐJoseph Smith splintering and its creation of a variety of similar yet different Mormon groups. The documents are arranged chronologically within specific categories to capture both the historical and doctrinal development of Mormonism in the United States.
Book Synopsis Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture by : Elisha McIntyre
Download or read book Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture written by Elisha McIntyre and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporating perspectives from religious studies, humor studies, cultural and film studies, and theology, as well as original data from textual analysis and the voices of religious comedians, this book critically analyses the experiences of believers who appreciate that their faith is not necessarily a barrier to their laughter. It is often thought that religion and humor are incompatible, but Religious Humor in Evangelical Christian and Mormon Culture shows that humor is not only a popular means of entertainment, but also a way in which an individual or community expresses their identity and values. Elisha McIntyre argues that believers embrace their sense of humor, actively producing and consciously consuming comic entertainment that reflects their own experiences. This process is not however without conflict. The book argues that there are specific characteristics that indicate a unique kind of humor that may be called 'religious humor'. Through an examination of religious humor found in stand-up comedy, television sitcoms, comedy film and satirical cartoons, and drawing on interview data, the book outlines the main considerations that Christians take into account when choosing their comedy entertainment. These include questions about ideology, blasphemy, taboos around the body, and the motives behind the joke.
