- Description
- De auteur toont aan dat ras en racisme een centrale rol hebben gespeeld bij de culturele vorming van de homoseksuele identiteit eind 19e eeuw in de Verenigde Staten. Ze doet dit op basis van een analyse van de film 'A Florida Enchantment', de romans van Pauline E. Hopkins, James Weldon Johnsons's 'Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man' en de boeken van Jean Toomer.

- Description
- The authors in this book try to expand the American literary canon by women writers, who do not always fit into genres and periods established on the basis of men's writings. These essays rediscover and 'fit' female writers into the 'white male' scheme of anthologies and college courses, editors Margaret Dickie and Joyce W. Warren question the current boundaries of literary periods, advocating a revised literary canon. The essays consider a wide range of American women writers, including Mary Rowlandson, Margaret Fuller, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Frances Harper, Edith Wharton, Gertrude Stein, Amy Lowell and Adrienne Rich, discussing how the present classification of these writers by periods affects our reading of their work. This volume also studies issues of a need for literary reforms considering differences in race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality

- Description
- The experience of women in the nineteenth century has generated a lot of research in recent decades. This book presents recent scholarship available in a concise resource, providing thus an authoritative source of information and interpretation. The authors emphasize areas in which scholars have identified important changes (such as suffrage and reform), topics in which researchers are now making great strides (such as racial, ethnic, religious, and regional diversity), and innovative and relatively recent explorations (for example, work on female sexuality). Accessible overview articles and alphabetical encyclopedia-like entries are combined in a comprehensive volume. .Part 1 contains a historiographical essay followed by a ten-chapter narrative overview. These chapters include discussions of families and households, labor and the workforce, religion and morality, feminism and equal rights, reform and voluntarism, and more. Part 2 is an A-to-Z listing of concise entries on key terms, notable figures, political movements, social and religious organizations, and legislation.
