Descriere

In this first book to be written on female adolescence in American literature, Barbara A. White offers a necessary corrective both to the bias of current criticism, which emphasizes boys' growth to manhood, and to the neglect and misunderstanding of important works of fiction by women. In the process, she provides new literary and social perspectives on two significant developments of modern times: the emergence of adolescence, in the late nineteenth century, as a recognized stage of life and the role and identity changes experienced by women since 1900. Her balanced treatment includes both a general survey of the fiction of female adolescence and in-depth investigation of works of four representative writers--Edith Wharton, Ruth Suckow, Carson McCullers, and Jean Stafford. An extensive bibliography lists over 275 novels by women about female adolescence.

Notă biografică

Edited by Jeanne Gossett Halsey. Published by Masterpieces In Progress Publishing House Barbara White was 91-years-old when she wrote and published her first book. A retired widow living in the Pacific Northwest, she has been legally blind for many years - which means, as a Writer, she does not physically "see" her manuscript; rather, she has memorized it almost entirely, then records it onto a cassette tape, which is then transcribed on her behalf. Her Writing is a remarkable gift from God, and she shares this unusual gift from God freely with everyone.
