Description
For half a century Lydia Maria Child was a household name in the United States. Hardly a sphere of nineteenth-century life can be found in which Lydia Maria Child did not figure prominently as a pathbreaker. Although best known today for having edited Harriet A. Jacobsâ?Ts Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, she pioneered almost every department of nineteenth-century American lettersâ?"the historical novel, the short story, childrenâ?Ts literature, the domestic advice book, womenâ?Ts history, antislavery fiction, journalism, and the literature of aging. Offering a panoramic view of a nation and culture in flux, this innovative cultural biography (originally published by Duke University Press in 1994) recreates the world as well as the life of a major nineteenth-figure whose career as a writer and social reformer encompassed issues central to American history.
