{"title":"Transatlantic Stowe: Harriet Beecher Stowe and European Culture (review)","authors":"Molly Hiro","doi":"10.1353/LEG.0.0027","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/LEG.0.0027","url":null,"abstract":"However, this book also has at least two other aims. one of these is to expand readers’ critical vision beyond the “flower language books” (2), with which nineteenth-century women nature writers traditionally have been associated, to a much broader range of nature writing. the volume illustrates women’s relationships with plant catalogs, botanical textbooks, travel narratives, seasonal journals, and scientific essays. Another of the book’s goals is to examine how women variously resisted and embraced the language of science through these different forms of writing. indeed, the book’s greatest strength is its observation that not only were many women “quite willing to grapple with the interpretive shifts in the meaning of nature” that accompanied the development of science generally (2), but they were also willing to embrace the new ways of seeing offered by Darwin in particular. rather than surrender their moral authority as a result of Darwin’s theories, Gianquitto argues, “[w]omen made room for morality . . . by focusing on the construction and maintenance of the homes of the natural world” (12), eventually extending the notion of domestic space to encompass the entire biosphere. Gianquitto is strongest in her four case studies, especially when she is immersed in the analysis of a particular passage. Her examination of Mary treat’s work is the highlight of the book. the chapter on Margaret Fuller, by contrast, is the least successful. Here, the connection to science is more tenuous and the evidence for Goethe’s influence is less definitive. “Good Observers of Nature” also struggles at times in its attempts to generalize, given the differences among the cases and the small sample size. Additionally, readers may desire more biographical information, including illustrations of the authors. Finally, the book’s long chapters might usefully be divided into slightly smaller sections. nevertheless, the well-written book includes several creative turns of phrase: Gianquitto observes, for example, that “phelps performs a rhetorical cartwheel” (45). in all, “Good Observers of Nature” is a welcome addition to the growing body of scholarship on nineteenth-century American women and their relationship to science and nature.","PeriodicalId":42944,"journal":{"name":"LEGACY","volume":"4 6 1","pages":"335 - 337"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2008-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LEG.0.0027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66263281","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":"Harriet Wilson's New England: Race, Writing and Region (review)","authors":"Xiomara Santamarina","doi":"10.1353/LEG.0.0031","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/LEG.0.0031","url":null,"abstract":"for some became an emblem of the failings of American ideals. others, though, found in its pages a reflection of the oppression and reform closer to home. Several of the essays collected here continue this line of thought: John MacKay tracks how Stowe’s novel influenced debates over feudalism in russia; Clíona Ó Gallchoir argues that Uncle Tom’s Cabin shares—but also strategically departs from—the narrative structures of the irish national tale. if Kohn, Meer, and todd argue that the transatlanticism of Uncle Tom’s Cabin made it a different text, i would say, analogously, that this collection of essays makes Stowe herself into a different author than the one most literary scholars have known, and this freshness contributes to the book’s appeal. Donald ross finds evidence in Stowe’s narrative of her experiences traveling in Europe, Sunny Memories of a Foreign Land, that her attitudes toward the antislavery cause evolved during her travel, whereas Shirley Foster discovers in the same text a subject engaged in “strateg[ies] of overt self-creation in which her own stereotypicality was coexistent with comic subversion of that position” (152). Denying that Lady Byron Vindicated is an anomaly in Stowe’s oeuvre, Caroline Franklin argues that in many of Stowe’s works the author “sought to make herself a female evangelical byron” (18). Gail K. Smith’s essay on Agnes of Sorrento also deals with Stowe’s self-creation, this time as a “Christian woman artist in the broader transatlantic art world” (169). Stowe’s affinity for art forms the topic of Carla rineer’s essay as well. rineer concludes with an appealing tidbit: vincent van Gogh loved Stowe’s works. Fascinating facts like these propel the reader through the essays collected in Transatlantic Stowe. the picture of Stowe that emerges throughout—an artist highly self-conscious, even sometimes ironic—provides a compelling counterpart to more traditional images of Stowe as a self-effacing, sentimental evangelist. by the end of the book, one cannot help but agree with the statement with which Judie newman opens her essay on transatlantic stage interpretations of Dred: “[t]o read Stowe intelligently is to read her through different cultural contexts” (208).","PeriodicalId":42944,"journal":{"name":"LEGACY","volume":"53 1","pages":"337 - 339"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2008-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LEG.0.0031","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66263689","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}
