Descriere magazin:
The eighteen essays in this volume explore Constance Fenimore Woolson\'s prodigious range of place, from the Great Lakes to the defeated South and across storied Europe to the Mediterranean. Her achievements come alive in this enlightening collection, shedding light on the full scope of her professional writing career. The first section, A Writer\'s Experiments, reveals that Woolson\'s play with familiar genres and unfamiliar characters began during the 1870s and extended until she died in 1894. Consistently, she tested the limits of representing women\'s labor and their erotic desires. The second section, Postbellum Souths, follows Woolson\'s travels through a land ravaged by war and injustice. Drawing on theories of travel, collective memory, the Lost Cause, religious controversy, and a race-bound region, these essays expose both the smugness of visitors and the agendas of residents that Woolson was among the first postwar writers to portray. The third section, Through an International Lens, considers expatriate perceptions of European and Mediterranean cultures as well as misconceptions about the Gilded Age United States. Here and throughout this volume, accounts of Woolson\'s travel sketches mingle with those of her fiction and poetry, while her encounters with the writing of other Americans demonstrate how regularly Woolson made her century\'s literary terrain more subtle and complex.
