A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Rebecca Blaine Harding Davis (June 24, 1831–September 29, 1910; born Rebecca Blaine Harding) was an American author and journalist. She is deemed a pioneer of literary realism in American literature. She graduated valedictorian from Washington Female Seminary in Pennsylvania. Her most important literary work is the novella Life in the Iron Mills, published in the April 1861 edition of the Atlantic Monthly which quickly made her an established female writer. Throughout her lifetime, Davis sought to effect social change for blacks, women, Native Americans, immigrants, and the working class, by intentionally writing about the plight of these marginalized groups in the 19th century.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Recuperating from spiritual decay is the motif of this narrative. Rebecca Davis has created personas that realize their misplaced ambitions in life and work to bring about a change for the better. In a side plot, she has also touched on the poverty and discrimination in a land where equality of men is preached and apparently every one has equal rights. Insightful!
