Excerpt from An Old-Field School-Girl With the desire of making this story a faith. Ful representation of the life of an old-field school-girl of fifty odd years ago, I have had it illustrated by scenes taken from that life as nearly as this could be done in our day. For the admirable photographs that served as the suggestions of the drawings I am indebted to miss louise williams, of Richmond, Va. The most spirited of my illustrations are actual reproductions of her photographic work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In the decades spanning the nineteenth century, thousands of women entered the literary marketplace. Twelve of the century's most successful women writers provide the focus for Mary Kelley's landmark study: Maria Cummins, Caroline Howard Gilman, Caroline Lee Hentz, Mary Jane Holmes, Maria McIntosh, Sara Parton, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, E.D.E.N. Southworth, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mary Virginia Terhune, Susan Warner, and Augusta Evans Wilson. These women shared more than commercial success. Collectively they created fictions that Kelley terms "literary domesticity," books that both embraced and called into question the complicated expectations shaping the lives of so many nineteenth-century women. Matured in a culture of domesticity and dismissed by a male writing establishment, they struggled to reconcile public recognition with the traditional roles of wife and mother. Drawing on the 200 volumes of published prose and on the letters, diaries, and journals of these writers, Kelley explores the tensions that accompanied their unprecedented literary success. In a new preface, she discusses the explosion in the scholarship on writing women since the original 1984 publication of Private Woman, Public Stage and reflects on the book's ongoing relevance.
