Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We express our unfeigned admiration for her delicate work, when we first made acquaintance with it in A Far-away Melody. Miss Wilkins's fiction is, so far as the English tongue is concerned, unrivalled-a thing to itself. It depicts the humble village life of the Eastern States with surprising realism of detail; the slipshod, illiterate, dialect is not one whit softened, and all the sordid, poverty-stricken, modes of living are presented with the faithfulness of a Dutch genre picture, or a photograph. But over all this harsh crudeness of material detail, there is, in the spirit of the tales, a poetic glamour which not only redeems them from anything like squalor, but invests these simple annals of les déshérités de la terre with a sort of glory and effulgence, and makes them elevating and ennobling." -The Westminster Review, Volume 136 [1891]

Download or read book The Love of Parson Lord and Other Stories written by Mary E Wilkins and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are few writers of short stories whose work has such distinction as that of Miss Mary E. Wilkins. Much as we admire the many good qualities in her longer novels, especially Pembroke, we feel that she is at her best in those dainty little sketches of New England country life which first gained our attention. The blended humour and pathos of the old who are young in all but years, the dignified reserve of the New England character, its naive cunning and mysterious simplicity, and the overpowering and inexplicable force of love that will find out its way are the chief subjects of the stories which make up this volume, The Love of Parson Lord and Other Stories. To them Miss Wilkins brings her vivid pictorial style, which is full of colour but subdued and decorative. Miss Wilkins is at her best when she is describing some simple idealist who makes a useless but heroic attempt to withstand the natural development of character. Such an one is Parson Lord, who has dedicated his daughter to the service of the Lord, but is so far aware of the futility of his act that he ministers to her worldly taste by stealth with mysterious presents of dolls and fine raiment. Such an one again is Cornelia Pezor-described as having "thrust herself so far behind the trimmed and burning lamp of love that she had become, as it were, a wedding guest of all life"-who tries to tutor her younger sister's love for romance by sending her imaginary love-letters, the supposed writer of which is such a pure and exalted person that Cornelia feels that her sister is safe from declining on any baser mortal. There is nothing new in Miss Wilkins' latest book. It is what we have been led to expect from the writer of A Far-Away Melody, but it is for that all the more welcome." -The Speaker, the Liberal Review, Volume 1 [1900]

Download or read book Gothic Writers written by Douglass H. Thomson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its roots in Romanticism, antiquarianism, and the primacy of the imagination, the Gothic genre originated in the 18th century, flourished in the 19th, and continues to thrive today. This reference is designed to accommodate the critical and bibliographical needs of a broad spectrum of users, from scholars seeking critical assistance to general readers wanting an introduction to the Gothic, its abundant criticism, and the present state of Gothic Studies. The volume includes alphabetically arranged entries on more than 50 Gothic writers from Horace Walpole to Stephen King. Entries for Russian, Japanese, French, and German writers give an international scope to the book, while the focus on English and American literature shows the dynamic nature of Gothicism today. Each of the entries is devoted to a particular author or group of authors whose works exhibit Gothic elements, beginning with a primary bibliography of works by the writer, including modern editions. This section is followed by a critical essay, which examines the author's use of Gothic themes, the author's place in the Gothic tradition, and the critical reception of the author's works. The entries close with selected, annotated bibliographies of scholarly studies. The volume concludes with a timeline and a bibliography of the most important broad scholarly works on the Gothic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transatlantic Footholds: Turn-of-the-Century American Women Writers and British Reviewers analyses British reviews of American women fiction writers, essayists and poets between the periods of literary domesticity and modernism. The book demonstrates that a variety of American women writers were intelligently read in Britain during this era. British reviewers read American women as literary artists, as women and as Americans. While their notion of who counted as "women" was too limited by race and class, they eagerly read these writers for insight about how women around the world were entering debates on women’s place, the class struggle, religion, Indian policy, childrearing, and high society. In the process, by reading American women in varied ways, reviewers became hybrid and dissenting readers. The taste among British reviewers for American women’s books helped change the predominant direction that high culture flowed across the Atlantic from east-to-west to west-to-east. Britons working in London or far afield were deeply invested in the idea of "America." "America," their responses prove, is a transnational construct.
