"How Celia Changed Her Mind" and Selected Stories
Author: Rose Terry Cooke
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 9780813511665
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This anthology of fiction by Rose Terry Cooke contains eleven stories, drawn together for the first time in one volume, that reflect the whole spectrum of Cooke's career from the 1850s to the 1890s. It restores to American literature the work of a writer highly admired in her own day and increasingly recognized today as an important figure in the development of realism, the evolution of regionalism as a literary form, and the emergence of women writers in nineteenth-century fiction. Cooke's stories are rich literarily and historically; her command of dialect, ear for dialogue, dramatic sense, and ability to draw interesting, memorable characters all distinguish her work. This reissue of some of her best work represents an important contribution to the canon of American literature.

Book Description
Sue and Greg Hibbs were lucky to have been able to have a perfect little boy, but Sue desperately wanted to have a large family, since she had been an only and lonely child. After several years of running from doctor to doctor with no answers or solutions, they were advised to adopt from an unwed mothers home. They felt so blessed when they picked up their newborn baby girl, realizing that God had finally answered their prayers for another child. They raised both children with unlimited love, attention, and Christian guidance, giving them every opportunity they could afford. To their surprise, their beautiful daughter began to change into a different person with a value system, inconsistent with her Christian upbringing. After marrying a possessive husband, she chose to end the relationship with her parents, shutting them out of her life for twenty-five years. After a tragedy in her life, she returned, but only for a short time. Their lives became a roller-coaster journey, taking its toll on their marriage and health, as they struggled with the blessings and curses of adoption.

American Women Short Story Writers
Author: Julie Brown
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317954203
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
This collection of original and classic essays examines the contributions that female authors have made to the short story. The introductory chapter discusses why genre critics have ignored works by women and why feminist scholars have ignored the short story genre. Subsequent chapters discuss early stories by such authors as Lydia Maria Child and Rose Terry Cooke. Others are devoted to the influences (race, class, sexual orientation, education) that have shaped women's short fiction through the years. Women's special stylistic, formal and thematic concerns are also discussed in this study. The final essay addresses the ways our contemporary creative-writing classes are stifling the voices of emerging young female authors. The collection includes an extensive five-part bibliography.
