Author and feminist, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward (1844-1911) was an early advocate of clothing reform for women, urging them to burn their corsets. This memoir originally published in 1896 and serialized, recounts anecdotes from her life in Massachusetts towns of Andover, Gloucester, Newton, and elsewhere. Over her long life she was friendly with: Celia Thaxter, Lucy Larcom, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Lydia Marie Childs, Whittier, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
The life and times of Elizabeth Rymes, convicted in the Old Bailey in 1789 at the age of 15, sentenced to transportation to NSW Australia for a period of seven years, and transported on the Second Fleet to New South Wales, Australia, as a convict. In NSW she met and married Matthew James Everingham, a young convict who had arrived on the First Fleet. An inspiring story of a young woman who was a remarkable pioneer in the early days of white settlement in Australia, possessed of a positive attitude to life as a convict settler in a difficult pioneering era. The story tells of her interactions with the native Aboriginal people of New South Wales and of the trials she faced weathering floods, fires and other great personal losses as she supported her husband, Matthew, and raised their 10 children. Elizabeth went on to be the matriarch of the Everingham dynasty, an extensive family which endures in Australia today. The book is a combination of biography, political and social history, and fiction.

The poet Elizabeth Bishop is said to have a prismatic way of seeing. In this companion to her poetry, making connections between modern art and modern poetry, Bonnie Costello aims to give a sense of the poet and her ways of seeing and writing.
This is the first full-length biography of Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, one of the three notable Peabody sisters of Salem, Massachusetts, and sister-in-law of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Horace Mann. In elegant prose it traces the intricate private life and extraordinary career of one of nineteenth-century America's most important Transcendental writers and educational reformers. Yet Peabody has also been one of the most scandalously neglected and caricatured female intellectuals in American history.Bruce Ronda has recaptured Peabody from anecdotal history and even blue-stocking portrayals in film--most recently by Jessica Tandy in Henry James's The Bostonians. Peabody was a reformer devoted to education in the broadest, and yet most practical, senses. She saw the classroom as mediating between the needs of the individual and the claims of society. She taught in her own private schools and was an assistant in Bronson Alcott's Temple School. In her contacts with Ralph Waldo Emerson's Transcendental circle in the 1830s, and as publisher of the famous Dial and other imprints, she took a mediating position once more, claiming the need for historical knowledge to balance the movement's stress on individual intuition. She championed antislavery, European liberal revolutions, Spiritualism, and, in her last years, the Paiute Indians. She was, as Theodore Parker described her, the Boswell of her age.
In her lifetime Elizabeth Bishop was appreciated as a writer’s writer (John Ashbery once called her “the writer’s writer’s writer”). But since her death in 1979 her reputation has grown, and today she is recognized as a major twentieth-century poet. Critics and biographers now habitually praise Bishop’s mastery of her art, but all too often they have little to say about how her poetry does its sublime work—in the ear and in the mind’s eye.Elizabeth Bishop at Work examines Bishop’s art in detail—her diction, syntax, rhythm, and meter, her acute sense of place, and her attention to the natural world. It is also a study of the poet working at something, challenging herself to try new things and to push boundaries. Eleanor Cook traces Bishop’s growing confidence and sense of freedom, from her first collection, North & South, to Questions of Travel, in which she fully realized her poetic powers, to Geography III and the breathtaking late poems, which—in individual ways—gather in and extend the poet’s earlier work. Cook shows how Bishop shapes each collection, putting to rest the notion that her published volumes are miscellanies.Elizabeth Bishop at Work is intended for readers and writers as well as teachers. In showing exactly how Bishop’s poems work, Cook suggests how we ourselves might become more attentive readers and better writers. Bishop has been compared to Vermeer, and as with his paintings, so with her poems. They create small worlds where every detail matters.
Acclaimed for their dramatic rendering of the personalities and forces that shaped Elizabethan politics, Wallace T. MacCaffrey's three volumes thoroughly chronicle the Queen's decision making throughout her reign in a way that combines pleasurable reading with subtle analysis. Together in paperback for the first time, these books will find a wide readership among those interested in debunking Elizabeth's many mythic images and in following the steps of Elizabethan policy-makers as they grapple with the most crucial political problems of their day. MacCaffrey completes his analysis by investigating how Elizabeth and her ministers governed in the years between the Armada of 1588 and her death in 1603. In light of the Queen's desire to uphold her popularity through the maintenance of peace and prosperity, the author explains why she pursued war with Spain by only half-measures and how the brutal conquest of Ulster and the destruction of Tyrone came to be seen as prerequisites for the incorporation of Northern Ireland.
On her birthday, Elizabeth Tudor steps away from the celebration distracted by an exceptionally brilliant harvest moon. As she gazes upward, the familiar light surrounding the heavenly orb dances, swirls, then coalesces, dropping out of the heavens to hit the princess quite shockingly in the face. The moment the light touches Elizabeth, her skin begins to glow, which is most definitely a problem. Even more unsettling, Elizabeth soon finds herself casting about her own orbs of light. These orbs somehow give her an unearthly control over the mind and willpower of her loved ones and force her to ask the same deadly question that took her own mother's life: could she possibly be a sorceress? As the disturbing manifestations continue to multiply, a distressed Elizabeth is suddenly faced with a new issue. She receives an eerie invitation from her murdered mother, Anne Boleyn. Unable to stop herself, Elizabeth is swept away on a quest to uncover an ancestral secret that may change not only her, but the very fabric of England's future.This coming of age story invites the reader to reimagine a well known story. The author delves deeply into the heart and mind of a very young Elizabeth Tudor and follows her as she progresses from a promising, potential monarch, to the historic virgin queen we all crave to know more about.
Elizabeth and the Potato Dolly is a nostalgic look at yesteryear too precious to sweep into the dustbin of history. It is sure to charm all lovers of Americana from ages three to one hundred and three. Unique among pioneer stories with its reenactment at a living history museum, the artfully done photographs bring authenticity to the story.Elizabeth is sent to the root cellar to fetch potatoes for her Pappa's dinner. When she doesn't return promptly, her mother repeatedly calls but "Elizabeth does not answer and Elizabeth does not come." This parallelism tickles young readers as does Mama's elongated calling, "Eliiiiii-zabeth." The children become intrigued to know what has become of Elizabeth. Since the story lends itself to reenactment, it works extremely well in a venue where children in the audience can become involved as the characters in the story.

This pioneering study, described as ‘a model of feminist criticism’ (The Year’s Work in English Studies) on first publication, revealed Gaskell as an important social analyst who deliberately challenged the Victorian disjunction between public and private ethical values, who maintained a steady resistance to aggressive authority, advocating female friendship, rational motherhood and the power of speech as forces for social change.Since 1987, Gaskell’s work has risen from minor to major status. This new edition presents the original text (except for bibliographical updating) together with a new and extensive critical ‘Afterword’. This addition contains detailed evaluation of all the Gaskell criticism published between 1985 and 2004 which has a bearing on her thesis, and thus provides both a wide-ranging debate on the social implications of motherhood, and an invaluable survey of Gaskell criticism over the last twenty years. This study will bring a well-tried classic to a new audience, while also offering a uniquely comprehensive overview of current Gaskell studies.
