The complete letters of Constance Fenimore Woolson

Woolson, Constance Fenimore 1840-1894 (Author). Dean, Sharon L., 1943- (Added Author).

Summary: Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840-1894) led a colorful life, travelling throughout the United States and Europe, becoming a literary star whose work was published in the premier magazines of her day. She wrote critically acclaimed novels, short stories, and poetry before her mysterious and untimely death in Venice at age fifty-three. Sharon Dean has recompiled, dated, and, in many cases, physically reassembled Woolson's extant correspondence from nearly forty sources. A trenchant critic of the customs and mores of her age, Woolson, in her letters, offers rich personal detail alongside nuanced ruminations on contemporary political and social conditions.
