I wuz a settin' there, as soft and pliable in my temper as the woosted I wuz a darnin' 'em with, my Josiah at the same time a peacefelly sawin' wood in the wood-house, when I heard a rap at the door and I riz up and opened it, and there stood two perfect strangers, females. I, with a perfect dignity and grace (and with the sock still in my left hand) asked 'em to set down, and consequently they sot. Then ensued a slight pause durin' which my two gray eyes roamed over the females before me. The oldest one wuz very sharp in her face and had a pair of small round eyes that seemed when they were sot onto you to sort a bore into you like two gimlets. Her nose was very sharp and defient, as if it wuz constantly sayin' to itself, "I am a nose to be looked up to, I am a nose to be respected, and feared if necessary." Her chin said the same thing, and her lips which wuz very thin, and her elbow, which wuz very sharp. Her dress was a stiff sort of a shinin' poplin, made tight acrost the chest and elboes. And her hat had some stiff feathers in it that stood up straight and sort a sharp lookin'. She had a long sharp breast-pin sort a stabbed in through the front of her stiff standin' collar, and her knuckles sot out through her firm lisle thread gloves, her umberell wuz long and wound up hard, to that extent I have never seen before nor sense. She wuz, take it all in all, a hard sight, and skairful.

    Extractions: Query: ebhovey@facstaff.wisc.edu 26 January 1996 Dear Historians: I am struggling with a problem. I am sure that the ideas of the sex radicalsEzra Heywood, Angela Tilton Heywood, Victoria Woodhull, Moses Harman, etcwere held by a very small portion of the population in the late nineteenth century U.S. But I don't feel I have enough evidence that most people believed sexuality was too dangerous to be publicly discussed. Besides the histories of the radicals-Sears, Stoehr and Spurlock most prominently-and histories/records of Anthony Comstock's group, I am using state and federal legislation, Alison Parker's diss. on the WCTU, Richelle Gurstein's diss. on reticence, Lewis Erengerg's "Steppin' Out", and the fairly polemic "Mrs. Grundy"(a930). If you have any citations that would be useful for this problem, I would be most grateful.

Samantha at the World's Fair, by Josiah Allen's Wife. Until the 1830's, publishers issued books unbound or in plain paper wrappers, leaving the job of arranging for binding to the bookseller or book buyer. In the 1830's, the invention of automatic binding machines made it possible to issue bound books inexpensively, and the modern book clad in a decorative binding was born. The decoration of early cloth bindings, such as that for Chanticleer , tends to remain confined to decorative borders, sometimes with an illustrative vignette added in the center. After the middle of the nineteenth century, publishers began to employ artists and craftspeople to design bindings which exploited both the decorative and advertising possibilities offered by the front board of the book. By the 1890's, a small army of designers, many of them women, worked for American publishers to create designs and illustrations to be stamped on cloth. The heyday of the decorated cloth binding lasts shortly until after World War I, when cheaper methods of book decoration, such as the full-color book jacket, supplant them as a primary advertising device for books.

Her experience in teaching includes several years at a community college, two decades at the University at Albany, and three years at the University of Hawai'i. Winter's abiding interests in research and writing are women's narratives, particularly of 19th century America, and the intersections of text and context.

    Extractions: U NIVERSITY OF D ELAWARE L IBRARY World's Fairs have been used as settings or themes for numerous works of fiction, film, and music. The Fair may be merely a colorful background for a romance or adventure or it may be a key element in the plot. Visiting a World's Fair may motivate a writer to develop his or her own utopian city. For example, the Emerald City of Oz was inspired by Baum's visit to the "White City" at the Columbian Exposition. The books shown here are merely a selection; others range from The Education of Henry Adams to the Elvis Presley film It Happened at the World's Fair. Frances Hodgson Burnett, 1849-1924.

    Extractions: Marietta Holley's literary creation, Samantha Smith Allen, was a philosopher of sound country stock whose ideas on various issues are grounded in an affection for common sense and faith in its applicability to problems. Through her 19th century brand of horse sense American humor, she challenges the status quo of social norms regarding women's issues and plants herself squarely on the side of sensible women's rights. She "rastles" with questions concerning history's treatment of women, rights denied by the church, women's powerlessness before the law, social status, role assumptions, and more. Samantha appeared in more than twenty books written by Holley between 1873 and 1914, among them My Opinions and Betsey Bobbet's Samantha at the World's Fair Samantha Among the Brethren Samantha at Saratoga , and Samantha on the Woman Question . Holley's books were enormously popular when they were published; Samantha Allen was said by one critic to have entertained as many people as had Mark Twain. She received large advances from her publishers, her works were dramatized by popular comedian Neil Burgess, and sales of at least one of her books Samantha at Saratoga put her on the better-seller list for the decade of 1880-1889.
