The Radical Fiction of Ann Petry

The Radical Fiction of Ann Petry

Keith Clark

Louisiana State University Press
2013
sidottu
This welcome study delivers a long-overdue analysis of the works of Ann Petry (1908- 1997), a major mid-twentieth-century African American author. Primarily known as the sole female member of the ""Wright School of Social Protest,"" Petry has been most recognized for her 1946 novel The Street, about a woman's struggle to raise her son in a hardscrabble Harlem neighborhood. Keith Clark moves beyond assessments of Petry as a sort of literary descendent of Richard Wright to acclaim her innovative approaches to gender performance, sexuality, and literary technique.Engaging a variety of disciplinary frameworks, including gothic criticism, masculinity and gender studies, queer theory, and psychoanalytic theory, Clark offers fresh readings of Petry's three novels and collection of short stories. Clark explores, for example, Petry's use of terror in The Street, where both blacks and whites appear physically and psychically monstrous. He also identifies the use of dark comedy and the macabre in her startling depictions of race, class, gender construction, and sexual identity in the stories ""The Bones of Louella Brown"" and ""The Witness."" Petry's overlooked second novel, Country Place- set in a deceptively serene, bucolic Connecticut hamlet- camouflages a world as palsied and nightmarish as the Harlem of her previous work. While confirming the black feminist dimensions of Petry's writing, Clark also assesses the writer's representations of an array of black and white masculine behaviors- some socially sanctioned, others transgressive and taboo- in her unheralded masterpiece, The Narrows, and her widely anthologized short story, ""Like a Winding Sheet."" Expansive in scope, The Radical Fiction of Ann Petry foregrounds and analyzes Petry's unique concerns and agile techniques, re-introducing and situating her among more celebrated male contemporaries.

Hopper & Cape Ann tells the little known, largely ignored, and profoundly significant origin story of Edward Hopper s years in and around Gloucester, Massachusetts a period and place that imbued Hopper s painting with a clarity and purpose that eluded his earlier work and set the stage for his monumental career. Expanding on a major retrospective exhibit at the Cape Ann Museum ( July 22 October 16, 2023) to include an unprecedented loan of 25 works from the Whitney Museum of American Art, the book focuses on the summer of 1923 when Hopper first embraced watercolour during outdoor painting excursions on Cape Ann and discovered one of his favourite subjects, houses and vernacular architecture. The success of Hopper s Gloucester watercolours transformed his work in all media. What is significant and revealed in this volume is the lesser known story about how a young painter, Josephine Nivison, who became the most trusted force underlying Hopper s artistic confidence as well as his wife. Here she is recast as principal producer of Hopper s distinctive style and most trusted brand visionary from the time of their courtship until his death in 1967.

Killing Cynthia Ann

Killing Cynthia Ann

Charles Brashear

Texas Christian University Press,U.S.
2011
nidottu
The saga of Cynthia Ann Parker is well known to historians of the Texas frontier and readers of historical fiction. Kidnapped from Parker's Fort near Mexia by raiding Comanches in 1836, she was completely assimilated into the Noconi band. She married tribal leader Peta Nocona and bore him two sons, Quanah and Pecos, and a daughter, Toh-Tsee-Ah. Late in 1860, she and toddler Topsannah (as the whites called her) were recaptured by Texas Rangers and returned to "civilization" and the extended Parker clan.Cynthia Ann never adapted to white culture. She was shunted from one Parker family to another, living in constant grief and doubt--about herself and her daughter and about the fate of her Comanche family still on the prairies. Convinced she was a captive of the Texans, Cynthia Ann was determined to escape to the high plains and the Comanche way. The Parkers neither cared for nor understood Cynthia Ann's obsession with returning to her homeland and her people.Charles Brashear's thoroughly researched and vividly realistic novel, Killing Cynthia Ann, tells the story as it might have happened and turns it into a compelling and unforgettable drama."Basing his fictional speculation on a careful reading of the historical record, Brashear chronicles the heartbreaking descent into despair of a proud woman who could not forget her warrior husband and two sons. . . [The public] will appreciate this engrossing novel, which can also supply a personal perspective to supplement history texts."--Library Journal

One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Father Lovasik S.V.D., provides children with an explanation of America's first Saint and an extraordinary woman. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton was an amazing woman who made history as the first American-born saint in the Catholic Church. She was born in New York City on August 28, 1774. Elizabeth grew up in a wealthy family, but her life changed a lot as she grew older. When she was 19, she married a man named William Seton, and together they had five children. Elizabeth was a devoted mother and loved helping others, especially the poor and sick. But life wasn't always easy for her. William became very sick, and the family traveled to Italy to try to help him get better. Sadly, he passed away there, leaving Elizabeth a widow with five young children. While in Italy, Elizabeth learned about the Catholic faith from friends who were caring for her. She was inspired by their kindness and the beauty of their faith. When she returned to the United States, she decided to become Catholic, even though it wasn't easy, and some people were not happy with her choice. Elizabeth went on to do something amazing: she started the first free Catholic school in the United States in Emmitsburg, Maryland, where she taught children from all kinds of backgrounds. She believed that education was important for everyone, especially girls and those who couldn't afford it. Elizabeth also founded the Sisters of Charity, a group of religious women dedicated to helping others, especially in education and caring for the sick. Elizabeth's deep faith, kindness, and commitment to helping others made her a role model. She died on January 4, 1821, and many people still look up to her today. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's life teaches us to be strong, caring, and to help others, even when life is hard. She was made a saint in 1975, and her story continues to inspire people around the world. Specific topics covered in this title include: The Birth of Elizabeth Elizabeth's Faith in God Elizabeth's Love for Her Father Elizabeth's Love for All of God's Creatures Elizabeth's Love for Her Brothers Elizabeth Marries William Seton A Happy Family A Family Meets with Misfortune Elizabeth Loses Her Husband Elizabeth Visits a Catholic Church Elizabeth Learns About the Catholic Religion Elizabeth Prays for the Catholic Faith Return to New York Elizabeth's Sadness on Leaving Her Friends Elizabeth is Reunited with Her Children Elizabeth Becomes a Catholic Elizabeth Starts a School Elizabeth Becomes a Sister Elizabeth's Trust in God Elizabeth Trust in Jesus Two Great Devotions Elizabeth Becomes Ill Death and Sainthood Prayer in Honor of Saint Elizabeth.
