  • Reading Reconstruction

    Open AccessJane Turner CenserARTICLEJournal of American History2020Citada por: 1

    Among southern novelists writing during Reconstruction, few rivaled Sherwood Bonner for flamboyance, talent, and unconventional behavior. Growing up as Katharine Sherwood Bonner in a prosperous Holly Springs, Mississippi, family, she married at age twenty-two. Two years later, in 1873, she left her husband in Texas and her young child in Mississippi to further her education in Boston. With her salary as a secretary and help from such luminaries a…

  • Heading South to Teach

    Jane Turner CenserARTICLEJournal of Social History2016

    From its title, one might expect Heading South to Teach: The World of Susan Nye Hutchison, 1815–1845 to be a somewhat narrow history of one woman’s experiences instructing southern children during the antebellum period. Instead, Kim Tolley uses the diary of Susan Nye Hutchison as a launching pad for a fascinating examination of important topics in the social history of nineteenth-century America. In fact, the book brims with insights into religio…

  • Flush Times & Fever Dreams

    Jane Turner CenserARTICLEJournal of Social History2016

    In 1853 Joseph G. Baldwin's The Flush Times of Alabama and Mississippi provided a rollicking account of the boosterism and self-making that had accompanied the settlers' appropriation of Native American lands there. Joshua Rothman's new book pays homage in more than just title to Baldwin's vision, although Rothman emphasizes the darker, more sinister aspects of the boom mentality in the new cotton states. To explore this speculative frenzy, Rothm…

  • Finding the Southern Family in the Civil War

    In a massive compendium Writing the Civil War, published in 1998, James M. McPherson and William J. Cooper gathered essays from numerous scholars of the American Civil War.

  • The Reconstruction of White Southern Womanhood, 1865-1895

    Lesley J Gordon, Jane Turner CenserARTICLEThe Arkansas Historical Quarterly2005Citada por: 3

Profusely illustrated with the experiences of fascinating women in Virginia and North Carolina, it presents a compelling new chapter in the history of American women and of the South. As were many ideas, notions of…

  • Framing American Divorce

    Jane Turner Censer, Norma BaschARTICLEJournal of American History2001Citada por: 1

    For those who think that divorce is mainly a twentiethcentury problem or obsession, Norma Basch's Framing American Divorce offers a comprehensive, convincing refutation. Her book shows the importance of divorce “as a leg al form, a social option, and a cultural symbol” in eighteenth and nineteenthcentury America. In the course of examining all three of these aspects of divorce, she greatly expands our understanding of it. Although other historian…
