DOWNLOAD EBOOKCall her majestic. The most popular woman poet of America’s 19th Century literary Renaissance. Her works were prodigious, inclusive, democratic. She published more than four-hundred poems, novels, and essays during her lifetime. She contributed poems to The Knickerbocker Magazine, The Lady’s Companion, Columbian, Godey’s Lady’s Book, Graham’s Magazine, and Religious Souvenir. Her story, Pictures of Early Life, was applauded as "highly interesting and instructive; and of a character which should place it in the hands of youth.” In 1845 Edgar Allan Poe published her “Thoughts of a Silent Man” essays in his periodical Broadway Journal. Later. In “The Literati of New York City,” a scholarly article he wrote for the August 1846 issue of Godey’s Lady’s Book, he classed Emma as one of the principal writers of the time. A precursor of feminism, she wrote, “If I were a man, as, thank God, I am not, for among my many blessings I rank first that of being a woman,” and gave “An Address on Female Education” championing higher education for women that was reprinted in Woman and Higher Education, a collection essays by founders of the first women’s colleges. Her “Essay on American Literature,” was the first to propose that America should support a literary class in society and a national literature. Her skills extended beyond excellence as a writer. She played the piano and other musical instruments, sang in a lovely mezzo-soprano voice, and painted exquisite watercolors for her book Nature’s Gems, the first book on American wildflowers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Selected Prose Writings of Mrs. Emma C. Embury But to those who think deeply, and feel vividly, expression is a necessity of their being. They must speak or die. Some find their utterance in the interchange of socialities, some in discours ing elegant music; some speak in the wordless tints of painting; some few work out the ideal of their souls in the enduring marble, and some send forth their thoughts, winged by poesy, to the far winds of heaven. Yet there are still left many to whom are denied all these resources. There are some who have all the elements of power within them, but have never had their lips touched with the live coal from the altar, which was to the pro phet both inspiration and expression. There are some who seem, like Zacharias, to be struck dumb by the very power which brings the promise of blessing: some to whom self-distrust is an incubus.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis publication marks the first time in a hundred years that a wide range of nineteenth-century American women's poetry has been accessible to the general public in a single volume. Included are the humorous parodies of Phoebe Cary and Mary Weston Fordham and the stirring abolitionist poems of Lydia Sigourney, Frances Harper, Maria Lowell, and Rose Terry Cooke. Included, too, are haunting reflections on madness, drug use, and suicide of women whose lives, as Cheryl Walker explains, were often as melodramatic as the poems they composed and published. In addition to works by more than two dozen poets, the anthology includes ample headnotes about each author's life and a brief critical evaluation of her work. Walker's introduction to the volume provides valuable contextual material to help readers understand the cultural background, economic necessities, literary conventions, and personal dynamics that governed women's poetic production in the nineteenth century.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe American literary canon has undergone revision and expansion in recent years, and our notions of the 19th-century renaissance have been reevaluated. Mainstream anthologies have been revised to reflect the expanding literary canon, yet resources for readers have remained widely scattered. This book expands earlier definitions of the 19th-century American Renaissance as represented by canonical writers such as Emerson and Poe, covering writers who published popular fiction and dominated the literary marketplace of the day. Included is generous coverage of women writers and writers of color. The volume provides alphabetically arranged entries for more than 70 writers of the period, including Louisa May Alcott, Emily Dickinson, Frederick Douglass, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and many more. Each entry was written by an expert contributor and includes a brief biography, a discussion of major works and themes, a survey of the writer's critical reception, and primary and secondary bibliographies.
