Mujeres que reclaman su derecho a trabajar en un mundo de hombres, valientes guerreras indias, forajidas del Oeste americano, inmigrantes sin pelos en la lengua, heroínas atrapadas en tenebrosos bosques... Estas son algunas de las protagonistas de La nueva mujer: relatos de escritoras estadounidenses del siglo XIX. Las autoras elegidas por Gloria Fortún para esta antología —mujeres de vanguardia que desafiaron con la pluma y el papel las convenciones sociales— son el símbolo de los anhelos y luchas de una época que asistió al surgimiento del empoderamiento femenino. La nueva mujer reúne a diez escritoras que, después de haberse forjado una carrera a la sombra de un canon literario eminentemente masculino, brillan ahora con más fuerza que nunca gracias a la riqueza y diversidad de unos relatos que reflejan desde múltiples perspectivas la realidad de la condición femenina en un tiempo marcado por profundas transformaciones políticas y sociales. Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Sarah Orne Jewett, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Sui Sin Far, Zitkala-Ša, Susan Glaspell, Harriet E. Prescott Spofford, Catharine Maria Sedgwick y Mary Austin son las diez escritoras que forman parte de un libro imprescindible para comprender el nacimiento de la "nueva mujer" en Estados Unidos durante el siglo XIX. Esta edición incluye un estudio crítico escrito por Gloria Fortún que ayuda a contextualizar la obra de cada una de las autoras seleccionadas.

Excerpt from Letters From Abroad to Kindred at Home, Vol. 1 of 2 I was aware that our stayers-at-home had already something too much of churches, statues, and pic tures, and yet that they cannot well imagine how much they make up the existence of tourists in the Old World. I have sedulously avoided this rock, and must trust for any little interest my book may possess to the honesty with which I have recorded my impressions, and to the fresh aspect of familiar things to the eye of a denizen of the New World. The fragmentary state in which my letters appear is owing to my fear of wearying readers less interested than my own family by prolonged details or prosing re ections, or disgusting them with the egotism of personal experience.

Excerpt from Letters From Abroad to Kindred at Home, Vol. 1 of 2 AN apology for a book implies that the public are obliged to read it; an Obligation that would reverse the order of nature - transfer the power from the strong to the weak. But, unfortunately for them, there is aportion of the public who are, in a certain sense, obliged to read a book - the kind friends of the author; and among these, I say it gratefully, not boastfully, I have the happiness to number many of my countrymen personally unknown to me. Of my friends, then, I ask indulgence for the following pages. They are published rather with deference to the wishes Of others than from any false estimate Of their worth. Our tour was made under circumstances which forbade any divergence from the highway Of all the travelling world, and.

A New England Tale

Honorable mention recipient for the 2012 Society for the Study of American Women Writers Award. A pioneering American novel of manners first published in 1830, Catharine Sedgwick’s Clarence follows heiress Gertrude Clarence as she negotiates the perils of the marriage market in New York City. Giving Gertrude’s family English and Caribbean histories, Sedgwick aligns the United States in the 1820s with a larger Atlantic world. This edition of Sedgwick’s cosmopolitan novel will contribute to a rethinking both of the history of the American novel of manners and to the shape of Sedgwick’s career as one of the most important novelists of the first half of the nineteenth century. This Broadview edition offers a rich selection of contextual materials, including selections from Sedgwick’s correspondence and journals reconstructing the origins of the novel, engravings and lithographs of key sites in the novel, American and British reviews of the novel, and documentation of the author’s revised edition of 1849.
