The Oxford Edition of the Works of Dorothy Richardson, Volume IV

The Oxford Edition of the Works of Dorothy Richardson, Volume IV

Oxford University Press
2020
sidottu
Dorothy Richardson was a major figure in twentieth-century literature. Her long, thirteen-volume work, Pilgrimage, is a landmark of European modernism. The Oxford Edition of Dorothy Richardson is the first authoritative version of her work. It includes a six-volume edition of Pilgrimage, a volume of her shorter fiction and poetry, a volume of her non-fiction, and three volumes of her collected letters. The edition includes a full scholarly apparatus in a form that is accessible to scholars, students, and the general reader. Pilgrimage (1915-1967) was Richardson's magnum opus. A semi-autobiographical narrative cycle, the first 'chapter-volume', Pointed Roofs, was published in 1915 and the last unfinished part, March Moonlight, in a posthumous collected edition in 1967. It was the first literary work to be described as 'stream of consciousness'--by May Sinclair in 1918--a phrase which came to serve as a description for a whole movement in early twentieth-century fiction. Known and admired by writers throughout the twentieth century, like many women modernists, Richardson had to wait until second wave feminism in the 1970s for proper critical recognition. Since then her reputation has gradually been re-established. The Oxford edition of her work is the culmination of several decades of scholarship and restores her to her rightful place in literary history. Volume IV presents Pilgrimage 1 & 2: Pointed Roofs and Backwater.

Searching for Christ: The Spirituality of Dorothy Day

Searching for Christ: The Spirituality of Dorothy Day

Brigid O'Shea Merriman

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
2022
sidottu
Scholarly and popular interest in Dorothy Day has grown steadily during the past decade. Widely acclaimed as a pioneer of American social Catholicism, as well as for co-founding the Catholic Worker and the movement by the same name, Day's religious vision and lifework have played a dramatic role in modern American Catholic history, profoundly influencing consciences. In this perceptive new study, Brigid O'Shea Merriman, O.S.F., examines the development of Day's spirituality, astutely relating it to twentieth-century intellectual and cultural history. After her conversion to Catholicism in 1927, Dorothy Day met the French peasant-philosopher Peter Maurin in 1932 and together they founded the Catholic Worker newspaper and movement. In this work Day discovered a vocation that would combine her journalistic skills with her long-standing desire for sweeping social change and love of the poor. Merriman demonstrates that Day's leadership of this radical Catholic movement served as the locus for the development and fruition of her spirituality. A work of intellectual or spiritual history rather than biography, Searching for Christ explores Day's spiritual roots in literature, especially the Scriptures, along with her sensibility and her aesthetic vision, all of which have received too little attention up to now. The impact of Christian personalism, monasticism, and the retreat movement on Day's spirituality are also examined, including new material on Day's association with Thomas Merton and a critical analysis of the Lacouture retreat movement. Friendship remained a necessary component of Day's spirituality, and Merriman's final chapter discusses Day's devotion to and enduring friendship withthe saints, as well as her warm relationships with a number of her contemporaries.

The Mutual Admiration Society: How Dorothy L. Sayers and Her Oxford Circle Remade the World for Women

The Mutual Admiration Society: How Dorothy L. Sayers and Her Oxford Circle Remade the World for Women

Mo Moulton

BASIC BOOKS
2019
sidottu
A group biography of renowned crime novelist Dorothy L. Sayers and the Oxford women who stood at the vanguard of equal rights Dorothy L. Sayers is now famous for her Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane detective series, but she was equally well known during her life for an essay asking "Are Women Human?" Women's rights were expanding rapidly during Sayers's lifetime; she and her friends were some of the first women to receive degrees from Oxford. Yet, as historian Mo Moulton reveals, it was clear from the many professional and personal obstacles they faced that society was not ready to concede that women were indeed fully human. Dubbing themselves the Mutual Admiration Society, Sayers and her classmates remained lifelong friends and collaborators as they fought for a truly democratic culture that acknowledged their equal humanity. A celebration of feminism and female friendship, The Mutual Admiration Society offers crucial insight into Dorothy L. Sayers and her world.

I have led my life in a constant state of poetry. Since the age of about eight I saw and felt everything important in rhyme time. Hence I have gathered my life story in a book of poems that will mean nothing to you except from an entertainment aspect. I was born in the small coal mining town of Shamokin, PA on July 6th, 1925 . Yes, I'm 92 so I have a lot to write about, but I chose to capture only the events of importance to me, like having twins in 1946 when it was still a miracle. Then having a son only sixteen month later, which made me consider thoughts of suicide. Eighteen years later, when I was about to become a free spirit, I found myself pregnant.(thoughts of suicide returning to the fore again) But life held another surprise when I discovered my first born twin was expecting too, leading then to thoughts of murder. Being accustom by now to the travails of life we forged forward and delivered our bundles of joy within 6 months of each other, making my new daughter an aunt to my new grandchild and I became my own grandma. The poems I have included in my book will make notice to the times they happened and the reason of importance. I must add, at this time, that I have gone through two husbands and have been involved with a great guy a year older than myself, for the last ten years, so if you only get one thing out of my book it should be enjoy life, it's never too late to start over. For your additional enjoyment I have added some of my art work . ENJOY

Are You a Friend of Dorothy?

Are You a Friend of Dorothy?

Kyle Lukoff

SIMON SCHUSTER

sidottu
From Newbery Honor and Stonewall Book Award–winning author Kyle Lukoff and celebrated picture book illustrator Levi Hastings comes an “approachable, engaging” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) picture book about how people found community in a time when they had to keep their true selves secret.“Are you a friend of Dorothy?” In a time when the LGBTQ+ community was forced to hide in the shadows, a woman named Dorothy helped her people find each other in the dark and celebrate themselves in the light. But who was Dorothy? Was she from the neighborhood, someone’s wife, mother, or sister? Was she that clever writer, who threw parties where there were no rules about who you could and couldn’t dance with? Or was she a girl from Kansas, who dreamed of leaving her black-and-white, small-town life and finding a vibrant, colorful world that loved her? Dorothy might have been all these things—because Dorothy, as known by the post-WWII queer community, wasn’t real. Still, she helped a community find connection and care amidst adversity.
