- Description
- Combining literary criticism and cultural history the author studies the lives and works of four nineteenth century American women writers Louisa May Alcott, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Elizabeth Stoddard, and Constance Fenimore Woolson who sought recognition as serious literary authors by redrawing the boundaries between the male and female literary spheres and between American and British literary traditions.
