{"title":"\"Across the Gulf\": Working in the \"Post-Recovery\" Era","authors":"Sharon M. Harris","doi":"10.1353/leg.2009.a317059","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/leg.2009.a317059","url":null,"abstract":"What do critics mean when they use the phrase post-recovery? It is a paradoxical term in many ways--valid, because we have moved so far beyond the simple recovery of forgotten or understudied women writers to asking far more critically challenging and culturally significant questions about these writers and their texts; but the term is also invalid because it suggests an end to the necessity of recovery. Rather than post-recovery, I prefer to view recovery as a multi-phased process in which the next phase of our work will be that of regeneration. We have accomplished so much since I was a graduate student in the mid-1980s when we read Anne Bradstreet and Phillis Wheatley and then skipped to Margaret Fuller, followed by an even greater leap forward to Edith Wharton. I have always thought that my attraction to Rebecca Harding Davis was in part due to her repeated use of the term \"across the gulf\" as a recognition of how many cultural grand canyons had not yet been bridged. What we need to do, of course, is to continue our recovery work while at the same time pushing ourselves to pose more challenging questions about individual texts or sets of texts and the ways they disrupt what we think we know about our particular periods of specialization. That is, reaching across the gulf is not simply building bridges to an understanding of the past; it is equally generating new and different ways of theorizing what we discover in the process. To envision ourselves as having already recovered the \"significant\" pre-twentieth-century texts borders on a stultifying state of self-satisfaction. So, in what ways can we advance our intellectual engagement with recovered texts while continuing to delve into cultural and textual \"gulfs\" that yet remain? Let me begin to answer that question by using a particular era, the Civil War years, as a means of suggesting both a compendium of texts that have as yet been under-studied and the kinds of questions that might be raised by considering these texts through the lens of extraordinary cultural changes that emerged in these years. Yes, I am taking a \"historical\" approach; no theorizing of a field has \"legs,\" as it were, unless it is rooted in a deep knowledge of the culture it seeks to elucidate. Therefore, I want to use this essay precisely as a series of questions. As I often tell my students, graduate education should primarily be a process of learning to ask ourselves increasingly complex questions about texts, about the environments in which they were produced, and about how differing theoretical approaches can help us to ask more complex questions of texts and of ourselves. I will suggest how such a process of expanding our interpretive frameworks might aid us in moving through the moments of transition inherent in expanding the work of recovery to a regeneration of the field, a process that recognizes there never is a \"post\" to educating ourselves about a particular era and its literature.

I've been splitting my time and my attention between two of the most well-known writers of U.S. literature: Walt Whitman, the self-proclaimed \"poet of the woman the same as the man,\" and Harriet Beecher Stowe, the \"little woman\" whose novel undoubtedly was a cause of the Civil War. On the one hand, my project Whitman's Poems in Periodicals is part of The Walt Whitman Archive, a vast electronic collection of manuscripts, editions of Leaves of Grass, entire works of criticism, all the known photographs, biographical commentaries by contemporaries, a searchable bibliography of criticism, translations, and now, my scholarly edition of the 160 known poems that Whitman published in forty-five different magazines, journals, and newspapers during his lifetime. As editor, I collected the periodicals themselves and worked with my assistant editor, Elizabeth Lorang, and the Whitman Archive staff to prepare images of the poems in the periodicals in which they originally appeared. I also did the traditional editorial work involved in a print edition: preparing historical information and providing transcriptions of the poems with notes. But as digital humanists explain, Whitman's Poems in Periodicals was born digital--that is to say, it does not exist in a print form nor could it easily be rendered into print. On the other hand, as the editor of Stowe in Her Own Time, I have prepared a traditional print edition--a kind of archive within itself. I have selected and edited unpublished letters as well as biographical sketches, recollections, memoirs, and articles published in a variety of contemporary books and periodicals to narrate the story of Stowe's life through the eyes of her friends, relatives, and fellow writers. My book includes a lengthy historical introduction, introductions to all of the selections I chose, notes, illustrations, a chronology of Stowe's life, and a bibliography. Both projects--one electronic and one print--involved hundreds of hours of archival work--in public and private libraries, special collections, online archives, art museums, and, in the case of Stowe, at the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Both are also editorial projects, the kind that do not routinely receive high rewards in our profession--but more about our professional rewards system below. Working on these two projects was an almost daily reminder of the importance of the infrastructure of scholarship--the basic tools that enable works of analysis and criticism: letters, standard editions, bibliographies, and biographies. I want to use my Whitman and Stowe projects to make what I consider to be a crucial point about the future of research on women writers. All of us have a responsibility to press harder on creating the basic tools we need to nurture and sustain work on women writers.

Tuttle","doi":"10.1353/leg.2009.a317056","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/leg.2009.a317056","url":null,"abstract":"In celebration of Legacy's twenty-fifth anniversary, we invited a number of scholars who have been important supporters of the journal to participate in a conversation about its past, present, and future. A central aim of Legacy has always been to foster a challenging and supportive intellectual community among scholar-teachers. We present here, then, a collaboration among those who have been intimately involved in this enterprise. During the editing process, it became clear that some questions elicited subthemes from respondents. In order to enhance the coherence of this roundtable conversation, in those cases, we have grouped the responses according to theme. In other cases, we have simply listed the responses in alphabetical order. We hope that readers will find the exchange to be validating, compelling, and intriguing and that when they lay this issue aside they will be newly energized in their research and teaching. Legacy Roundtable I: Looking Back When Martha Ackmann, Karen Dandurand, and Joanne Dobson chose Legacy as the name for the journal they founded twenty-five years ago, they created a venue inviting scholars to consider American women's writing in historical perspective. Yet the journal itself is a legacy, a gift handed down from the past, one that \"demands that we continue to try to understand precisely what has been left to us,\" as Jean M. Lutes puts it below. (1) Here, in the first of two Roundtable discussions, we invited contributors to assess what Legacy has meant to them, how it has influenced their own career trajectories and the shape of the field more generally. We also asked former editors to discuss how the journal took shape and to explore the function of its particular features. Legacy's unique history and mission continue to inform its offerings today; these Roundtable responses will help us to maintain a historical perspective as we assess the journal's function at the present moment and look to shape its future. 1. How has your association with Legacy related to your academic and scholarly life and career? Jennifer S. Tuttle: All respondents to this question indicated, with only slight variation, that the journal has enriched their scholarship and been fundamental to their careers. We have grouped the responses chronologically or according to topic, and sometimes under subheadings, for the sake of coherence. We begin with a comment by Joanne Dobson, who generously shared with us a conference paper containing the following account of the journal's founding. THE BROAD SIGNIFICANCE OF LEGACY Joanne Dobson: Twenty-five years ago, back in the days of carbon paper, no such scholarly field as antebellum women writers existed. A number of people were working in isolation on various aspects of nineteenth-century American women writers. But in 1980, an extensive community of scholars did not yet exist; there was as yet no critical scholarly mass, and there were no institutional resources in the field. In 1983, Karen Danduran","PeriodicalId":42944,"journal":{"name":"LEGACY","volume":"26 1","pages":"197 - 198"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2009-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66267989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Recovering Recovery: Early American Women and Legacy's Future","authors":"Theresa Strouth Gaul","doi":"10.1353/leg.2009.a317058","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/leg.2009.a317058","url":null,"abstract":"Legacy's identity throughout its twenty-five years has been intertwined with its commitment to recovery work. Features like Profiles, Reprints, and From the Archives have brought recovered authors to readers' attention, in turn sparking new scholarship and inspiring new generations of scholars. Unsurprisingly, the Roundtable discussion in this issue demonstrates the participants' sense of the continued centrality of recovery work to the journal's future, especially in light of emerging opportunities offered by new media. The excitement surrounding the opportunities that electronic platforms offer for the future recovery, dissemination, and study of American women writers is palpable in the voices of those contributing to the Roundtable in this issue. This kind of discussion of ways to move forward and embrace technological innovations in order to extend the significance and reach of the scholarship Legacy fosters is important to the journal's development in the twenty-first century. Yet it remains crucially important to remember that, in the current moment, the availability of women's texts in print still largely determines what is read and taught in classrooms and receives analysis in dissertations, scholarly journals, and monographs. While teachers and scholars will undoubtedly rely more and more on electronic sources and archival databases for teaching and research, a range of factors will continue to ensure that the printed book holds an exalted status in our work lives, at least in the foreseeable future: uneven access to digital resources; the simple convenience of a material text and its features--including introductions, bibliographies, and additional materials; our own valuation of the high scholarly standards and peer-review process maintained by academic presses; and the privileging of conventional forms of publication in promotion and tenure decisions. For these reasons, the kinds of print publishing scholars pursue and presses support, especially in the current economic downturn, ineluctably shape the field of inquiry. It is hard to overemphasize the monumental importance of the moment Joanne Dobson recounts in the Roundtable when she and Judith Fetterley conceived--in a diner, scribbled on the back of a paper placemat--what became the eighteen-volume American Women Writers (AWW) reprint series from Rutgers University Press (I:3). For many of us, the reprints in this series brought our professional lives into being. I first encountered this series in 1989, when I was beginning to write my college senior honors thesis on Catharine Maria Sedgwick's Hope Leslie. Special ordering the copy of the book from a bookstore seemed a startlingly new and empowering act to me; my mother believed firmly in libraries, my home town had no bookstores, and before this point the number of books I had actually purchased (other than books required for classes) probably numbered in the single digits.

Ostensibly a letter sent by Mrs. Allen to her sister on 2 July 1816, this little book tells how its writer took passage on the Mary, bound for New Orleans, to \"join [her husband] in the Louisiana country, where he had been the winter past\" (4). A week into the journey, the ship foundered in a ferocious storm and was wrecked short of its destination. The survivors wandered for more than two weeks in a \"wild and pathless forest\" before being found by a group of friendly natives who fed them, dressed their wounds, and \"conduct[ed]\" them to St. Marks, whence Sarah Allen was taken to St. Augustine and then returned to New York (11, 22). This brief tale serves as an early example in Robin Miskolcze's Women and Children First, a study of shipwreck narratives and American masculinity. Miskolcze reads Allen's account within a typology common to other foundational American narratives, most notably that of \"the Pilgrims' lands on Plymouth Rock\" and their later fortuitous rescue by friendly natives (27). Studies such as hers exemplify the continued attractions and importance of literary recovery, for such work makes women visible in heretofore overlooked surroundings and situates their writings within an existing tradition of American literary history, methodologies that Legacy and its sister journals have honed to a fine art. Acknowledging such valuable work as the genesis for my thinking, I want to amplify and extend the directions so firmly established by the last quarter century's initiatives in feminist literary recovery. I will resist some foundational assumptions--among them that New England and the Northeast are places of American cultural, literary, and political origins. In the process, I will also ask what I hope will be productive questions--about the locations and boundaries of America, about how gender still silently determines the canon of American literature, and about the limited vision that results from our class- and race-based privileging of printed, alphabetic texts. Because A Narrative of the Shipwreck saw multiple editions within two years, it seems plausible that it had a large circulation, even if it did not remain in print after the early nineteenth century. This, in turn, suggests that it caught the attention of its readers by its timeliness, in much the same way as did The Female Marine, published in the same place in the same year. The brevity of Sarah Allen's narrative and her matter-of-fact and undeveloped references to actions, decisions, and geographical locations suggest her readers' familiarity with a bellicose and imperial subtext that is perhaps not immediately apparent to a contemporary reader. Seeking answers to some questions that Sarah Allen left unanswered opens an intriguing set ","PeriodicalId":42944,"journal":{"name":"LEGACY","volume":"26 1","pages":"242 - 261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2009-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66268360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the reader soon learns, Sary Jane did not buy the flowers; they came from \"The Flower Charity. Heaven bless it!\" Created to provide flowers for people who lacked access to their beauty and moral uplift, the Flower Charity, or Flower Mission as it was more commonly known, was an international organization in operation from the late nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries. (1) Founders of the movement, which \"provided for the aesthetic tastes\" (\"The Flower Mission,\" Arthur's 526), believed \"the poor, the sick, and afflicted, have as keen a sense of beauty as the rest of us\" (\"The Flower Mission,\" Harper's). According to an announcement in Forest and Stream magazine, its \"conception ... was eminently feminine\" (\"The Flower Mission\"), an opinion expanded upon by Virginia Forrest in Zion's Herald: \"Women as a class,\" she argues, \"are willing to employ the most unpretentious means if thereby they can save or help some soul.\" Although there are various accounts of the Flower Mission's origins in the United States, more than one source claims it began in 1869 in Boston, \"the inspiration of Miss Helen W. Tinkham,\" a young teacher, who had the idea \"[t]hat the myriads of flowers that bloom and fade in many a suburban garden might be a source of untold pleasure, not only to the invalid shut in close, crowded rooms of the poorer portion of the great city, but also to the sewing girls in the large establishments, and many others who almost never see the country, but are obliged to toil from morn until the set of the sun.\" (2) To put the plan into action, announcements were made \"in several places of worship in Boston, inviting all having fruits and flowers to send them ... to a place named.\" The plea was so successful that 150 flowers or small bouquets were given out in the first distribution; by 1872, the Boston mission was dispensing twelve thousand donations in a season (\"A Flower Mission\"), and in 1888 three hundred flowers/bouquets were delivered each mission day between May and October (Humphrey 543). In some cases, missions distributed fruit as well as flowers. (Thus, although Phelps does not say so in her story, Sary Jane's lemon could have been a gift of the mission.)
