- Description
- De selectie kookboeken, die de auteur gebruikte, varieerde van zeventiende eeuwse huishoudboeken uit Engelse landhuizen, een klassiek afro-amerikaans kookboek waarin de roots van veel traditioneel amerikaanse gerechten opgenomen zijn, tot een vijftiger jaren kookboek, speciaal voor amerikanen geschreven door een Chinese immigrante. Tenslotte kijkt Theophano naar de hedendaagse twintigste eeuwse kookboeken van Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Madeleine Kamman en Alice Waters. Zij laat zien hoe het schrijven over eten veel laat zien over het leven, het gezin en de cultuur van de schrijvers van die kookboeken.

- Description
- This book is the history of American women writers from 1650 to 2000. Showalter introduces more than 250 female writers. These include not only famous and expected names (Harriet Beecher Stowe, Willa Cather, Dorothy Parker, Flannery O’Connor, Toni Morrison among them), but also many who were once successful and acclaimed yet now are little known, from the early American best-selling novelist Catherine Sedgwick to the Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Susan Glaspell. Showalter shows how these writers—both the enduring stars and the ones left behind by the canon—were connected to one another and to their times. She believes it is time to fully integrate the contributions of women into the American literary heritage.

- Despite Emily Dickinson’s world renown, the story of the two women most responsible for her posthumous publication, Mabel Loomis Todd and her daughter Millicent Todd Bingham, has remained in the shadows of the archives. A portrait of women who refused to be confined by the social mores of their era, this book explores Mabel and Millicent’s complex bond, as well as the powerful literary legacy they shared. Mabel’s tangled relationships with the Dickinsons, including a thirteen-year extramarital relationship with Emily’s brother, Austin, roiled the small town of Amherst, Massachusetts. After Emily’s death, Mabel’s connection to the family led her to the enormous trove of poems Emily left behind.

- 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

Opgroeiend tussen de Chinezen gaf dat haar een unieke blik op het toentertijd in het westen onbekende land. Zij schreef hierover in de roman 'De goede aarde' (1932), waarvoor zij als eerste vrouw de Pulitzerprijs won. In 1935 moest ze als balling terugkeren naar Amerika, waar zij zich na de Tweede Wereldoorlog inzette voor zwarte burgerrechten, rechten voor vrouwen en voor Aziatische kinderen. In 1938 heeft zij als eerste Amerikaanse vrouw de Nobelprijs voor Literatuur gewonnen. Schrijfster en voormalig tafeltennisser en China-correspondeert Bettine Vriesekoop reist in de voetsporen van Buck door China en Amerika.

- This book places Edith Wharton and her writing in the context of fashion history and shows how dress lies at the very center of her thinking about art and culture. The study traces American patronage of the Paris couture and places Wharton’s characters in these establishments to offer new readings of her well-known novels. Less known are Wharton’s knowledge of and involvement in the craft of garment making in her tales of seamstresses, milliners, and textile workers, as well as in her creation of workshops in Paris during the First World War to employ Belgian and French seamstresses and promote the value of handmade garments in a world given to machine-driven uniformity of design and labor.

- Description
- Horowitz offers a portrait of Charlotte Perkins Gilman in the 1880s. 'The Yellow Wall-Paper' captured a woman's harrowing descent into madness and drew on the author's intimate knowledge of mental illness. Like the narrator of her story, Gilman was a victim of what was termed 'neurasthenia' or 'hysteria'--a 'bad case of the nerves.' She had faced depressive episodes since adolescence, and with the arrival of marriage and motherhood, they deepened. In 1887 she suffered a severe breakdown and sought the 'rest cure' of famed neurologist S. Weir Mitchell. Her marriage was a troubled one, and in the years that followed she separated from and ultimately divorced her husband. It was at this point that Gilman embarked on what would become an influential career as an author, lecturer, and advocate for women's rights.Horowitz argues that Gilman's emotions rooted in the confinement and tensions of her unhappy marriage.

- Barolini profiles six gifted women transformed by Italy’s mythic appeal. They were drawn to an idea of 'Italy' and its gifts — in whose welcome a new self could be created. Emily Dickinson travelled to Italy in the imaginative genius of her verse. Margaret Fuller struggled alongside her Italian lover in the political revolutions that gave birth to the Italian Republic, while the novelist and short-story writer Constance Fennimore Woolson found her home in Venice and Florence. Here, too, is the flamboyant artist Mabel Dodge Luhan, entertaining at her villa near Florence: and Marguerite Chapin of Connecticut, who married an Italian prince and in Rome founded the premier literary review of the mid-century, Botteghe Oscure. Finally, here is Iris Cutting Origo, the Anglo-American heiress who, with her Italian nobleman husband, built a Tuscan estate, where she wrote acclaimed biographies and created a refuge from Mussolini’s fascism. Linking these lives, Barolini shows, is the transforming catalyst of change in a new land.

After coming out as a lesbian in the U.S. (at 17, she had her first love affair with 20-year-old Evalina Palmer), she moved to Paris in 1899 and began a very public affair with Lilane de Pougy, celebrated courtesan and author of romantic potboilers. By 1903, Barney boasted of having 'the most respectable of bad reputations': no less then three literary works (including a novel by Colette) featured thinly veiled portraits of her as a notorious lesbian. Notoriety begot legend as Barney, became one of the most famous salonists in Paris as well as a noted poet and novelist who published 21 books.Rodriques writes about Barney's intense rivalry with Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas and about the long affair with painter Romaine Brooks.
