Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Anna Keyser Baker's diary offers a reflective, vivid account of 19th-century Philadelphia life, faith, and personal observation. Written during the final years of her life, the diary of Anna Keyser Baker (18211877), offers a rare, eloquent window into everyday life, faith, and spiritual reflection in late-19th-century Philadelphia. A third-generation Philadelphia Swedenborgian, avid reader, dedicated friend, and Sunday School teacher, Anna documented sermons, conversations, community charity work, and personal introspection. Her diary entries bring to life parlor visits, mountain and beach vacations, church gatherings, and walks through a transforming Philadelphia, including her impressions of the Centennial Exposition of 1876. This work takes its title from a fleeting, but poignant account recorded in Anna's diary: a houseleek plant growing on the roof of her home, traditionally considered to be a sign of protection. Its removal-after being mistaken for an ill omen by a housekeeper-is noted with bemusement, but it coincides with a farewell visit from one of Anna's cherished Sunday School students, whom she would never see again as they set off for schooling in Europe. This captures a central theme of the diary: the impulse to find meaning in the mundaneness of everyday life. The proof of any interpretations, however, can only be seen with reflection. Richly annotated and carefully edited by Swedenborgian historian Christopher Augustus Barber, this edition guides readers through Anna's world. Blending accessible theological insight, gentle poetry, social observation, and personal candor, Anna's diary offers both devotional depth and a vivid portrait of Philadelphia and humanity that will appeal to readers of all backgrounds. 23 b/w illustrations Anna Keyser Baker's diary offers a rare view of post-Civil War Philadelphia through the reflections of a devout Swedenborgian woman. Spanning 1874 to 1876, her entries record in detail her daily life, interleaving religious devotion with vivid portraits of people and places. With rich editorial context, this volume is an insight into Anna's life, a Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
