Reading Reconstruction
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
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
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. These pieces detailed how various aspects of the field had changed over time: battlefield tactics, both northern and Confederate strategy, as well as northern and southern politics. Yet in their careful introduction, McPherson and Cooper also pointed out areas such as social h…

Blood and Irony
The Reconstruction of White Southern Womanhood, 1865-1895
This impressively researched book tells the important but little-known story of elite white women's successful quest for a measure of self-reliance and independence between antebellum strictures and the restored patriarchy of Jim Crow. 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…
The History of Southern Women's Literature
Many of America's foremost, and most beloved, authors are also and female: Mary Chesnut, Kate Chopin, Ellen Glasgow, Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, Harper Lee, Maya Angelou, Anne Tyler, Alice Walker, and Lee Smith, to name several. Designating a writer as southern if her work reflects the region's grip on her life, Carolyn Perry and Mary Louise Weaks have produced an invaluable guide to the richly diverse and enduring tradition of women's lite…
Framing American Divorce
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…
