- Description
- Kate Chopin is now recognised as a unique voice in American literature. Her seminal novel, The Awakening, published in 1899, explored new and startling territory, and stunned readers with its frank depiction of the limits of marriage and motherhood. The essays in this Companion treat a wide range of Chopin's stories and novels, drawing her relationship with other writers, genres and literary developments, and pay close attention to the transatlantic dimension of her work.

- Description
- In de negentiende eeuw kreeg men meer belangstelling voor de binnenlanden van de kolonie. Onder invloed van de Verlichting wilde men vooral kennis vergaren over landen en volken. Door de Romantiek idealiseerde men de 'edele wilde', onaangetast door de westerse beschaving. Dat leidde tot ontdekkingsreizen, die een volkenkundig, botanisch, zoölogisch of geologisch karakter hadden. Door de toegenomen Europeanisering kwamen daar toeristische reizen bij, vooral in de twintigste eeuw. In deze bundel worden drieëntwintig reizigers uit de periode 1800-1950 besproken.Atrikelen over onder meer Nicolette Peronneau van Leyden, Augusta de Wit, Marie van Zeggelen, Aletta Jacobs, Annie Salomons en Beb Vuyk

- Description
- Selected collection of supernatural stories by British female writers from the second half of the nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Some of the authors included in this volume are Charlotte Perkins Gillman, Mary Wilkins Freeman, Olive Schreiner, Olivia Howard Dunbar and Mary Austin. Women at that time often wrote supernatural stories such as about spiritualism, cosmic horror and dark metaphors. They often introduced social commentary into their works, like the role of women and class struggles. Many women included in this book were involved in the suffragette or labor reform movement. As the work as a domestic was one of the few options for women from the lower classes, several stories were told from either the domestics in a wealthy household or the very poor viewpoint. Many of these women took up writing out of financial need and/or wrote under pseudonyms, using their married name or without any name.
