So Contrary and Provoking
Although Louisa May Alcott’s An Old-Fashioned Girl (1869) promotes conventional gender expectations and traditional values, at the same time it depicts heterosexual marriage as mercenary and dispassionate. It proposes women’s choice to become self-sustaining as a positive alternative to marriage. Thus, the narrative seems to destabilize the same conventionality it promotes: “spinsterhood,” independent career women, and same-gender affection all a…
On Archival Research
À travers l’exemple de Sarah Parker Remond (1826-1894), cet essai réfléchit à l’importance de la recherche archivistique dans la récupération de récits historiques qui ont été effacés. Récemment, les universités ont reconnu les avantages de la participation des étudiant·e·s au travail d’archives et ont commencé à l’utiliser comme un outil pédagogique, ce qui a entraîné un engagement accru des étudiant·e·s dans la production de savoirs et la sauve…

She Was the Mad Woman
Harriet Prescott Spofford’s female protagonists are complex women who often aim to appear as good mothers and wives, sometimes at the cost of denying their sexuality and creativity as they tend to their families and become burdened with responsibilities. The persistent myth that women found fulfillment only in marriage and motherhood, Spofford seems to suggest, failed to reflect the reality of all nineteenth-century women. This essay will examine…
Transatlantic Interracial Sisterhoods
Marginalized Identities and Spaces
James Baldwin’s stories concentrate on racially and sexually marginalized identities placed within cosmopolitan capitals (Paris and New York). In such novels as Another Country, Baldwin explores antonyms, contrasting ideals and ideologies, and the formation of nonconforming relationships. Individual desire and external social pressure create a complex tension that pulls white and black, homo- and heterosexual characters toward and away from each …
Troubling the white supremacy–black inferiority paradigm
Blurring boundaries
Reflections of Home in Nineteenth-Century American Travel Writing of Finland
In the nineteenth century, Americans generally knew very little about Finland, which functioned primarily as a transitory halt for a small number of American travelers crossing from Sweden to Russia proper. As Finland never became a fashionable destination, the number of visitors remained small and the amount of time spent there brief. This essay examines American travel guides and magazine articles about travel in Finland, then a Grand Duchy of …
Frances Willard's Peep at Finland
This article examines Frances Willard's first transatlantic tour of 1868–70, which played a key role in the development of her career.

In that article, she recorded her impressions of Finland's cities and their inhabitants. …
