Hardback. Condizione: Good. Unfailingly vivid--and fair-minded --The Atlantic Riveting --The New York Times Book Review A biography with the verve and pace of a delicious novel.a polemic and a pleasure. --The Boston Globe The first biography to reveal Julia Ward Howe--the author of The Battle Hymn of the Republic--as a feminist pioneer who fought her own battle for creative freedom and independence. Julia Ward (1819-1910) was a heiress and aspiring poet when she married Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, an internationally-acclaimed pioneer in the education of the blind. Together the Howes knew many of the key figures of their era, from Charles Dickens to John Brown. But he also wasted her inheritance, isolated and discouraged her, and opposed her literary ambitions. Julia persisted, and continued to publish poems and plays while raising six children. Authorship of the Battle Hymn of the Republic made her celebrated and revered. But Julia was also continuing to fight a civil war at home; she became a pacifist, suffragist, and world traveler. She came into her own as a tireless campaigner for women's rights and social reform. Esteemed author Elaine Showalter tells the story of Howe's determined self-creation and brings to life the society she inhabited and the obstacles she overcame.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. These fascinating letters between Vera Brittain and Winifred Holtby tell the story of an extraordinary friendship.'A beautiful collection' Daisy Dunn, Sunday Times'Completely fascinating' Rachel Cooke, Observer'Lively, perceptive and immaculately edited' Miranda Seymour, Literary Review'A moving, unvarnished chronicle of intellectual comradeship' Sarah Watling, Telegraph A literary relationship that began when the women met at Somerville College, Oxford, in 1919, it lasted until Winifred's early death at the age of thirty-seven. The letters, written from 1920 to 1935, kept them 'continuously together', and show us the life of two pioneers who wished to make their mark as writers and campaigners. Each encouraged and advised the other. However, there were periods when they were literary rivals. Winifred landed a book deal first; Vera produced an international bestseller with Testament of Youth; and the letters show them negotiating envy and self-doubt. It was at times an uneven relationship: Vera, more than four years older, was married and had two children during this period, while Winifred, a single woman with an adventurous spirit, travelled and made a wide range of friends. As the heroine of her novel South Riding says, 'I was born to be a spinster and by God, I'm going to spin!' Vera decisively influenced Winifred's passion for feminism and peace; 'You made me,' Winifred told her. In turn, Winifred, who took care of Vera's children and placated her husband, gave Vera crucial intellectual and emotional support, fiercely believing in her literary gifts. A portrait of the inter-war years and a dramatic, touching and ultimately tragic story, the letters have the hallmarks of honest female friendship: not without friction and with its own delicate co-dependency, but life-changing for them both. …

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Near Fine. Light shelf wear to covers. Found one page with a margin note and underline, as well as 3 page corners turned down from previous owner. Previous owner was Prof. Walter E. Rex (1927-2010), Emeritus Professor of French Literature, UC Berkeley. In 1975, Prof. Rex was offered for the first time, together with Professor Daniel Heartz of the Music Department, an interdisciplinary course on music and literature in the French 18th century (especially concerned with Rousseau and Diderot). A brilliant cellist, Rex was known on occasion to play musical examples for the students in the class on his cello. This course and its successor (a course on Mozart and Beaumarchais, again taught with Professor Heartz) would become legendary on campus. Binding is tight. This book is part of a collection I purchased of Prof. Rex's books. 233pp. …
