We are all familiar with the novels of Jane Austen, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot and the Bröntes. Less familiar is the short fiction of the period; yet a great many nineteenth-century stories by women―both famous and obscure―retain in full measure their power to fascinate and to entertain. For this anthology Glennis Stephenson brings together stories by both British and North American writers; by such established luminaries as Shelley, Gaskell and Kate Chopin; and by lesser-known writers such as the Anglo-Indian writer Flora Steel, the Afro-American Alice Dunbar Nelson and the Canadian Annie Howells Frèchette. The result is an anthology that will be as interesting to the general reader as it will be useful to the student. Stephenson provides background information on all authors, together with a general introduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLouisa May Alcott \/ \u003cem\u003eA Whisper in the Dark\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Elizabeth Braddon \/ \u003cem\u003eGood Lady Ducayne\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKate Chopin \/ \u003cem\u003eThe Storm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsabella Valancy Crawford \/ \u003cem\u003eExtradited\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElla D’Arcy \/ \u003cem\u003eThe Pleasure-Pilgrim\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRebecca Harding Davis \/ \u003cem\u003eAnne\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlice Dunbar-Nelson \/ \u003cem\u003eSister Josepha\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Egerton \/ \u003cem\u003eGone Under\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnnie Howells Frechette \/ \u003cem\u003eA Widow in the Wilderness\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Wilkins Freeman \/ \u003cem\u003eA New England Nun\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Gaskell \/ \u003cem\u003eLizzie Leigh\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Gaskell \/ \u003cem\u003eThe Old Nurse’s Story\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharlotte Perkins Gilman \/ \u003cem\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSarah Orne Jewett \/ \u003cem\u003eA White Heron\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVernon Lee \/ \u003cem\u003eDionea\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eL.M.
