In Marietta Holley's 'The Lament of the Mormon Wife: A Poem', the reader is transported into the world of Mormon polygamy through the poetic and poignant verses that explore themes of love, loss, and the constraints placed on women in the 19th century. Holley's literary style combines humor with dark undertones, creating a compelling narrative that sheds light on the harsh realities faced by Mormon wives. The poem's context within the time period of its publication adds a layer of social commentary that is both relevant and thought-provoking. The use of satire and wit adds depth to the narrative, making it a unique and engaging read. Marietta Holley, known for her feminist views and satirical writings, drew inspiration from the experiences of women in patriarchal societies, leading her to write 'The Lament of the Mormon Wife'. Her keen observations and sharp wit are evident throughout the poem, showcasing her ability to address serious issues with a touch of humor. I highly recommend 'The Lament of the Mormon Wife: A Poem' to readers interested in feminist literature, social commentary, and 19th-century American poetry.

As the sacred text of a modern religious movement of global reach, The Book of Mormon has undeniable historical significance. That significance, this volume shows, is inextricable from the intricacy of its literary form and the audacity of its historical vision. This landmark collection brings together a diverse range of scholars in American literary studies and related fields to definitively establish The Book of Mormon as an indispensable object of Americanist inquiry not least because it is, among other things, a form of Americanist inquiry in its own right--a creative, critical reading of "America." Drawing on formalist criticism, literary and cultural theory, book history, religious studies, and even anthropological field work, Americanist Approaches to The Book of Mormon captures as never before the full dimensions and resonances of this "American Bible."

First published in 1988, this book contains entries on famous American Humorists. Humor has been present in American literature, from the beginning, and has developed characteristics that reflect the American character, both regional and national. Although American literature was, in the past, treated as inferior to British literature, there has always been a large popular audience for the genre, which this book shows. The figures with entries in this encyclopedia not only amuse in their writing, but also aim to enlighten- setting out to expose the foibles and foolishness of society and the individuals who compose it. It is the manner in which these authors try to accomplish this end that determines whether they appear in the volume. Indeed, the book will demonstrate that the best humor has at its base, a ready understanding of human nature.
