Download or read book Emma Lazarus in Her World written by Bette Roth Young and published by Jewish Publication Society of America. This book was released on 1995 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma Lazarus is best known for her immortal sonnet to the Statue of Liberty, "The New Colossus". She has also been mythologized as a brilliant but reclusive spinster. Now author Bette Roth Young has discovered over 60 original letters in the attic of the home of Lazarus' close friends Helena deKay and Richard Watson Gilder. These letters shed new light on this legendary figure; they describe, in Emma's own words and the words of her friends, the social life and the personality of a vital young woman who traveled widely here and abroad, socializing wherever she went, and meeting life with passion and an unfailing sense of humor. Emma Lazarus was, in fact, a lively presence in a New York City coming of age. Her friends ranged from Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne's daughter Rose Lathrop to such luminaries across the sea as Ivan Turgenev, Robert Browning, William Morris, and Henry James. Emma Lazarus in Her World: Life and Letters brings together the best and the brightest men and women, artist and thinkers, at century's end.

Download or read book Marion written by Judith Westlund Rosbe and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally called Sippican for the Native Americans who lived here, the town of Marion has a long and rich history, which can be seen here in over two hundred beautiful photographs. Settled by twenty-nine Pilgrim families in 1678, its shores have since attracted artists, writers, and architects, as well as two U.S. presidents. Henry James's characters visited Marion in The Bostonians, and Century Magazine highlighted the summer community in its pages at the start of the twentieth century. Located on Buzzards Bay, the town of Marion has evaded the real estate development that has destroyed many historic towns. Many of the original houses built in Marion between 1690 and 1920 still remain. Each chapter in Marion is dedicated to a distinct area in this charming seaside town and to the notable people who made Marion their summer home. Old Landing, Wharf Village, Water Street, and the Tabor Academy campus are just a few of the neighborhoods captured in these pages.

Download or read book Frank written by Annette B. Dunlap and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she married forty-nine-year-old President Grover Cleveland in a White House ceremony on June 2, 1886, Frances Folsom Cleveland was only twenty-one years old, making her the nation's youngest First Lady. Despite her age, however, Washington society marveled at how quickly the inexperienced Mrs. Cleveland (known as "Frank" to her family and friends) established herself as a social leader and capable spouse. Her popular Saturday receptions and glittering formal social events, combined with the warm and winning personality she displayed during her first two years in the White House, made her one of America's most popular First Ladies. Yet, as Annette Dunlap demonstrates in Frank, there was more to this charming and resolute woman than her social and entertaining skills. Active in New York society during the four years between the two Cleveland administrations, Frances built relationships with many of the nation's elite that helped return her husband to the White House for a second term. She played a pivotal role in keeping Cleveland's operation for cancer a secret, and as the country's economic picture and Cleveland's political popularity deteriorated, she coped admirably with criticism of herself and her husband, as well as lies about her children's health. Even though she shared her husband's opposition to women's suffrage, favoring instead an exalted role for women in the home, she struggled with Cleveland's possessiveness. A strong and opinionated woman in her own right, she developed her own network of associations that promoted kindergartens, mission work, and charitable activities that alleviated conditions for the poor. The first widowed former First Lady to remarry, Frances found new life as a political activist, taking a strong stand for military preparedness and promoting the need for a just and lasting peace at the end of World War I. She maintained leadership roles in several organizations well into her seventies, including the board of trustees of her alma mater, Wells College. Her lasting contributions to both early and higher education, as well as her work on behalf of the poor, may well make Frances Folsom Cleveland one of America's most underrated First Ladies.
