About This Item
Duke University Press Books, 1994-11-03. Hardcover. Good. 7x1x10. Hardcover and dust jacket. Some corners folded over. Scattered underlining and markings. <br> "Lydia Maria Child ranks among the most influential of 19th-century American women writers. She was renowned in her day as a tireless crusader for truth and justice and a champion of excluded groups in American society, especially Native Americans, enslaved peoples, and women. A writer who early heeded the call for an American literature with American themes, she was a pioneer in several literary genres. She wrote one of the earliest American historical novels, the first comprehensive history of American slavery, and the first comparative history of women. In addition, she edited the first American children's magazine, compiled an early primer for the freed slaves, and published the first book designed for the elderly. Child possessed an uncanny ability for knowing exactly what the American reading public wanted and when they wanted it. She was also gifted at rendering radical ideas, such as the abolition of slavery, palatable for American readers." - Poetry Foundation
